Chemical Carcinogens

Más información sobre el libro

Cancer causing agents are now known to exist throughout the environment-in polluted air and tobacco smoke, in various plants and foods, and in many chemicals that are used in industry and laboratories. With the incidence of cancer apparently on the rise, there has been an even greater push to find the causes of this ancient disease. The increased worldwide research effort has produced a vast amount of data and new information which must be collated and interpreted. This monograph contains comprehensive accounts of the latest theories of cancer chemistry and biology and of the major hazards identified so far.
