Springer - Biological Monitoring of Toxic Metals Book

Explore the scientific foundations of environmental toxicology with Biological Monitoring of Toxic Metals, part of the Rochester Series on Environmental Toxicity. Published by Springer, this volume presents the findings from the landmark conference held in Rochester in June 1986. The work serves as a comprehensive record of discussions focused on defining and evaluating the scientific basis for the biological monitoring of metals. This publication is the result of a major collaborative effort. It was organized by the Environmental Health Sciences Center of the School of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Rochester, NY, in conjunction with the International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH). Contributors included experts from the Scientific Committee on the Toxicology of Metals, the Karolinska Institute, the National (Swedish) Institute of Environmental Medicine, and the University of Umea, Sweden. For medical practitioners, researchers, and specialists in pharmacology and environmental health, this book provides essential historical and scientific context regarding metal toxicity. It remains a significant resource for understanding the international efforts to establish standards for biological monitoring in occupational and environmental settings.
