Acute Toxicology Testing: Perspectives and Horizons Shayne C. Gad 1.º edición

Acute toxicology testing constitutes the first line of defense against potentially dangerous chemicals. This book provides a detailed presentation of protocols for each of the common designs, reviews their development and objectives, discusses the types of data they generate, and examines the current status of alternative test designs and models. For each test, applicable U. S. and international guidelines are also presented, and the formulation and selection of vehicles, dosages, and test animals are addressed.
