Editorial Reviews

Review

"Biomarkers of exposure are indicators of the current or historical contact with environmental agents. They serve to evaluate the completeness of exposure assessment information by associating environmental or source information, exposure measurements, and epidemiological and human activity data with internal dose. . . . Biomarkers and biomonitoring, the subjects of this volume, offer exciting opportunities to understand more completely the environmental, chemical, and physiological processes by providing useful measures of chemicals and their breakdown products. . . . [T]his volume reveals an abundance of scientific data, related to exposure biomarkers and risk assessment, biomarkers of human exposure, biomarkers of environmental health and application of modeling solutions in risk assessment, which are presented in a rigurous [sic] concise style."--Cellulose Chemistry and Technology
