Regulatory Toxicology in the European Union: A Comprehensive Guide

Consumer and environmental protection are heavily dependent on the careful regulation of all classes of chemicals. Toxicology plays a pivotal role in evaluating safety and thus underpins regulatory decisions on chemicals. With the increasing body of EU legislation involved in chemical regulation, there is a growing need to understand the toxicological principles underlying safety assessments.

Understanding the Principles of Regulatory Toxicology

Regulatory Toxicology in the European Union is the first book to cover regulatory toxicology specifically in Europe. It addresses the need for a wider understanding of the principles of regulatory toxicology and their application. The book presents the relationship between toxicology and legislative processes in regulating chemical commodities across Europe.

A Comprehensive Scope

This title has a broad scope, covering historical and current chemical regulation in Europe, the role of European agencies and institutions, and also the use of toxicology data for important classes of chemicals, including human and veterinary medicines, animal feed and food additives, biocides, pesticides, and nanomaterials.

A Timely and Pertinent Resource

This book is extremely pertinent and timely in the toxicology field at present. It is an essential reference for regulatory authorities, industrialists, academics, undergraduates, and postgraduates working within safety and hazards, toxicology, the biological sciences, and the medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences across the European Union.
