In-depth, evidence-based resource covering important toxins affecting human health and safety Medical Toxicology of Occupational and Environmental Exposures presents crucial information on various important toxins that affect human health and safety, focusing on their chemical structures, analytical methods, clinical features, and comprehensive treatment options. Organized across three volumes, it provides comprehensive and insightful information for clinicians, students, and investigators with interests in metals, radiation, and cancer. The interdisciplinary, evidence-based approach of the work is designed to reach beyond clinical settings to increase the scientific understanding of those in associated fields. To allow for quick reference, the information is presented in a consistent and easy-to-read format. Additional information is readily available to the interested reader through the detailed bibliographies included at the end of each chapter. Volume 1—Metals and metalloids, such as arsenic, lead, mercury, and rare earth metals Volume 2—Radiation, including ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, radiation physics, radiation prevention, radiation diagnosis and treatment, and cosmic radiation Volume 3—Cancer-causing exposures, histology, host susceptibility, and clinical features—using an organ-based approach to allow for seamless reader comprehensionToxicologists, physicians, and many other professionals working in fields that intersect with human health and safety, especially those in leadership positions making decisions regarding metals, radiation, and chemical carcinogens, can use Medical Toxicology of Occupational and Environmental Exposures as a practical everyday reference to understand many important toxins found in our world that often affect our bodies in a negative manner.

Medical Toxicology of Occupational and Environmental Exposures is the only reference which comprehensively covers the clinical, analytical, and monitoring information needed by clinicians, students and investigators with interests in metals, radiation, and cancer. The information in all chapters is presented in a cogent, standardized format which greatly simplifies the use of the text as a reference. Reviewed by a distinguished panel of well-known toxicology experts, the information is critically evaluated and authoritative. The interdisciplinary, evidence-based approach is designed to reach beyond clinical settings to increase the scientific understanding of those in associated fields (analytical laboratories, universities, federal and state regulatory and environmental agencies) involved with decisions regarding metals, radiation, and chemical carcinogens.  The consistent and concise style allows the reader to quickly locate the appropriate information necessary for informed decisions regarding the sources, host susceptibility, dose-response, clinical effect, health surveillance, and management of exposures to these substances. Additional information is readily available to the interested reader through the detailed bibliography at the end of each chapter. Volume 2 "Radiation Risk Assessment, Diagnostic Tests, and Therapeutics" provides information on the basic science and clinical medicine of radiation toxicology
