Perspectives in Environmental Toxicology

This book is a valuable contribution to the debate about the harmfuleffects of environmental toxicants on human health, which is a growingconcern in the 21st century. Complementary chapters decipher thephenomena and highlight the latest developments in environmentaltoxicology, providing readers with a comprehensive overview ofenvironmental toxicology and human health. Since the toxicants in question are not only chemical or biological innature, but also include man-made electromagnetic fields, the bookexplores in detail multidisciplinary approaches to environmentaltoxicology, with a focus on the following five aspects: 1. The effects ofman-made electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) on human health proposedmechanisms and biological effects and measures). 2. An overview ofnanotoxicity, nanomedicine and cancer research. 3. A bio-computationalapproach to the molecular interaction of environmental carcinogens withDNA. 4. The toxicology of environmentalpollutants in the air, dust, soil,water and natural toxins in the environment: exposure and health. 5.Social insects as environmental indicators of ecotoxicological effects indifferent ecosystems. The book analyzes the carcinogenic, mutagenic, genotoxic and neurotoxiceffects of both anthropogenic and natural toxins present in water, soil, airand our surroundings in the form of electro-pollution or electro-smog.
