The volume provides an in-depth coverage of the field of toxicokinetics including exposure assessment, routes of exposure of toxicants, and distribution, biotransformation, and excretion of toxicant. Dosimetry modeling, including physiologically based pharmacokinetic models, and extrapolation modeling are covered. The volume also covers key mechanisms associated with toxicity/carcinogenicity of chemicals. Concepts of risk assessment are also discussed in this volume.
