"The book provides a practical reference for a wide range
of experts: specialist toxicologists (chemists and food chemists),
hygienists, government officials and anyone who needs to be aware
of the main issues concerning toxicants and process contaminants in
food. It will also be a valuable introduction to the subject for
post-graduate students." (Tamam, 28 October
