The right dose differentiates a poison from a remedy."" This is often condensed to: ""The dose makes the poison."" So, why are we overtly anxious about intoxications?In fact, poisons became a global problem with the industrial revolution. Pesticides, asbestos, occupational chemicals, air pollution, and heavy metal toxicity maintain high priority worldwide, especially in developing countries. Children between 0 and 5 years old are the most vulnerable to both acute and chronic poisonings, while older adults suffer from the chronic effects of chemicals. This book aims to raise awareness about the challenges of poisons, to help clinicians understand current issues in toxicology.Poisoning in the modern world PoisonsRisk assessmentToxicologyToxicology and Pharmaceutical SciencePharmacologyMedical ToxicologyHealth SciencesPoisonsRisk assessment.615.902Banu Arslanauth1364585Karcioglu OzgurArslan BanuNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910332355003321Poisoning in the modern world3386009UNINA
