Drinking Water and Health, Volume 8: Pharmacokinetics in Risk Assessment

By Subcommittee on Pharmacokinetics in Risk Assessment, Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology, Commission on Life Sciences, et al.

Pharmacokinetics, the study of the movement of chemicals within the body, is a vital tool in assessing the risk of exposure to environmental chemicals. This book--a collection of papers authored by experts in academia, industry, and government--reviews the progress of the risk-assessment process and discusses the role of pharmacokinetic principles in evaluating risk. In addition, the authors discuss software packages used to analyze data and to build models simulating biological phenomena. A summary chapter provides a view of trends in pharmacokinetic modeling and notes some prospective fields of study.
