Chemical Mixtures and Combined Chemical and Nonchemical Stressors Exposure, Toxicity, Analysis, and Risk /

Exposure to multiple chemical and nonchemical stressors is the rule, not the exception. Nevertheless, it continues to be a significant challenge in toxicology and risk assessment to thoroughly take mixtures into account. In this book, both basic and advanced concepts for considering mixtures are dis...
