Casarett & Doull’s Toxicology The Basic Science of Poisons 9th Edition

Casarett & Doull’s Toxicology

Casarett & Doull’s Toxicology: The Basic Science of Poisons, Ninth Edition provides a comprehensive and updated overview of the scientific principles underlying modern toxicology. Edited by Curtis D. Klaassen, this authoritative reference explores how toxic substances interact with biological systems, how the body processes toxicants, and how exposure can affect organs, tissues, and overall health. It also examines environmental toxicology, chemical hazards, and the latest advances in toxicological research, testing, and risk assessment.
