Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

See preceding entry. The second of the two-volume set contains sections on metal and toxicant toxicity, mechanisms whereby toxins exert their effects, and last, how courts and agencies are involved in the regulation of pollutants, toxins, and risk. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
