Toxicosurveillance

Featuring case studies of systems from different regions of the world, Toxicosurveillance presents methods to collect toxicity data and use it to anticipate and prevent health problems. By illustrating the role modern toxicology plays in the surveillance of public health risks, the book helps standardize global approaches for collecting and analyzing toxic exposure data. Case studies of important toxic epidemics and outbreaks offer toxicologists and epidemiologists a look at the practical use of toxicosurveillance to help them understand these occurrences and to prevent such events in the future.
