Beschreibung
Forensic Toxicology: Principles and Concepts takes the reader back to the origins of forensic toxicology providing an overview of the largely unchanging principles of the discipline. The text focuses on the major tenets in forensic toxicology, including an introduction to the discipline, fundamentals of forensic toxicology analysis, types of interpretations based on analytical forensic toxicology results, and reporting from the laboratory to the courtroom. Forensic Toxicology also contains appendices covering the principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, immunology and immunological assays, toxicogenomics, and case studies.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"...the text certainly meets its aim and I would recommend students studying forensic toxicology to view this as a useful reference book." --Interfaces"...a very useful reference for students, professionals, and instructors. It provides a synthesis of scientific and ethical methods as they apply to the field of forensic toxicology. This book appears to be unique in this regard. Score: 83 - 3 Stars" --Doody's
