More Description

This noteworthy volume is the first to consolidate information about the new methodology as it presents the state of the art in this field. It is base on a symposium cosponsored by the Chemical Industry Institute of Toxicology, The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and the Burroughs Wellcome Company.

The book presents to toxicologists the powerful new techniques involving quantitative structure-activity relationships. It details the tools that should be applied in setting approaches for the toxicological testing of chemicals and presents interdisciplinary information about this important methodology by scientists who are developing, perfecting, and applying this method.

Written in a clear, to-the-point style, this impressive work covers all practical and theoretical aspects of the new technology and will be an excellent desk reference and supplementary tool for anyone in the toxicology field.
