Synopsis: An insight into new advances of current interest in metal toxicology, such as mechanisms important in risk-assessment for human health. The book also has chapters on emerging conceptual problems including resistance to metal toxicity effects on gene expression, alongside principles regarding drug-chelation of metals, the potential use of prophyrins as indicators of metal exposure and toxicity. The toxicology of specific metals of major public health concern are discussed in depth, such as mercury, aluminum, arsenic, chromium, and cadmium. Of interest to basic scientists as well as public health administrators.
