Modern Poisons: A Brief Introduction to Contemporary Toxicology
Alan Kolok
If in the Middle Ages poisonous substances, natural and synthetic, were used pointwise, in our time they are produced and used on an industrial scale. Today, chemicals or their traces can be found almost everywhere. We consume them with food, apply them to the skin and hair. Our clothes, houses, cars, favorite gadgets - all this is created with the "participation" of chemistry dangerous to health. You will learn from the book about what is happening in the world of toxicology now, how and why scientists are developing ever new deadly poisons, under what beautiful masks they are presented to us, how they penetrate our body and what consequences they cause, and, of course, about those small thoughtless crimes against the environment that we commit every day without thinking.
