• Since the previous key book on mixture toxicity there has been great progress in the development of concepts and models for mixture toxicity, in both human and environmental toxicology. This book presents an overview of developments in both fields, comparing and contrasting their current state of the art to identify where one field can learn from the other. In terms of subject matter, the book progresses from exposure through to risk assessment, at each step identifying the special complications that are typically raised by mixtures (compared to single chemicals).
