Modern Poisons

“Exceptionally and impressively well written, organized and presented, Modern Poisons: A Brief Introduction to Contemporary Toxicology is unreservedly recommended”– “Midwest Book Review”“Most of our current toxicology textbooks overlook the social and political aspects of the field. Kolok ably addresses this deficiency…with engaging, brief overviews of the history of chemical regulation in the U.S., how potentially dangerous compounds are assessed, and some recent scientific developments that are challenging the very foundations of the field…Everyone who cares about healthier environments for our children and families will benefit from reading Modern Poisons.”– “Center for Environmental Health”

Alan Kolok is Director of the Aquatic Toxicology Laboratory, Interim Director at the Center for Environmental Health and Toxicology, and Professor of Biology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. He is the editor of the journal Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry.
