This review is from: Clinical Environmental Health and Toxic Exposures (Hardcover)

I have started to read this text to prepair for a board exam in Occupational Medicine. The first 14 chapters cover a huge amount of information that serves as the basis for this field of medicine. This will be a big help for anyone looking for an organized review of this material. Section V examines specific toxins in detail and just about anything you would need to know about most chemicals is here. This text is vital for health professionals in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. It would also be very helpful to have as a reference for a terrorist attack that deals with radiation or the spread of toxic materials. It is the rare text that I WILL read from cover to cover, instead of using it to look up selected items. Highly recommended.
