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. 517 $aPoisoning in the modern world 606 $aPoisons$xRisk assessment 610 $aToxicology 610 $aToxicology and Pharmaceutical Science 610 $aPharmacology 610 $aMedical Toxicology 610 $aHealth Sciences 615 0$aPoisons$xRisk assessment. 676 $a615.902 700 $aBanu Arslan$4auth$01364585 702 $aKarcioglu$b Ozgur 702 $aArslan$b Banu 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910332355003321 996 $aPoisoning in the modern world$93386009 997 $aUNINA
