Written by leading research scientists, this book integrates current knowledge of toxicology and human health through coverage of environmental toxicants, genetic / epigenetic mechanisms, and carcinogenicity.

Highlights

• Provides information on lifestyle choices that can reduce cancer risk
• Offers a systematic approach to identify mutagenic, developmental and reproductive toxicants
• Helps readers develop new animal models and tests to assess toxic impacts of mutation and cancer on human health
• Explains specific cellular and molecular targets of known toxicants operating through genetic and epigenetic mechanisms
