"However, since this handbook provides clear, relevant
information across both toxicology and pharmaceutical
analysis/development, it is probably most useful for practicing
toxicologists or chemists, providing both a detailed reference to
dip into and a means of better understanding the requirements and
contributions of colleagues working in the other
discipline." (British Toxicology Society, 1 July
2013)
"However, the book is extremely well written and is a
compelling read. The book accomplishes its goal to provide a
state of the art review with respect to mercury . . . The book
serves as an excellent educational resource."
