The second edition of the Encyclopedia of Toxicology continues its
comprehensive survey of toxicology. This new edition continues to present
entries devoted to key concepts and specific chemicals. There has been an
increase in entries devoted to international organizations and well-known toxic-
related incidents such as Love Canal and Chernobyl. Along with the traditional
scientifically based entries, new articles focus on the societal implications
of toxicological knowledge including environmental crimes, chemical and
biological warfare in ancient times, and a history of the U.S. environmental
movement.
With more than 1150 entries, this second edition has been expanded in length,
breadth and depth, and provides an extensive overview of the many facets of
toxicology.
