Items related to Hamilton & Hardy's Industrial Toxicology
Hamilton & Hardys Industrial Toxicologyhas a long history as a leader in the area. Editions were published in 1929, 1949, 1974, and 1984. A new edition is long overdue and the rights to work on the newest edition have been held by Mosby, despite attempts by other publishers to acquire it.
Industrial toxicology is an applied science that seeks to define industrial chemicals, leads, gases, dusts and wastes; establish sound usage principles and limits; show how toxins are detected, what their effects are; and identify the various methods for prevention, treatment and management of the conditions they produce. It is a subset of the larger area of occupational, industrial, and environmental toxicology, as it seeks only to deal with what is found in what we usually call heavy industry,or corporations that are manufacturing-based. Both the proliferation of chemical uses and their effects, as well as the correlation of toxins and the workplace make Industrial Toxicology a high-growth field.
The study of toxicologic exposures in industry forms the core of OEM. The health effects of human contact with industrial chemicals, leads, gases, dusts, and waste have been the major emphasis of the specialty and an important consideration for the corporations who must provide for the safety and health of their employees. Hamilton & Hardydenotes a strong tie to the acknowledged founders of modern American occupational medicine literature.
Several unique features separate this book from the competition and endear it to generations of readers. The clinical, almost conversational, tone is much like the book has always been, echoing the teachings of Hamilton and Hardy. The book also has a clearly defined purpose, providing a great deal of critical toxicologic information in a well-organized, moderate, and accessible format.
Strategically, the titles name recognition gives Mosby credibility in both areas of OEM and Applied Toxicology. Joining the Greenberg, Hamilton, Phillips: Occupational, Industrial, and Environmental Toxicology(#26883, pub 5/5/97), this core discipline is staked as Mosby Country. Greenberg provides an occupation knownorganization, addressing the larger field of occupational, industrial, and environmental toxicology. Harbison uses the successful agent known format, with an A-Z listing of the subset field--industrial toxicology.

From the Back Cover:
′Hamilton and Hardy’s Industrial Toxicology is now 80 years old, and the new sixth edition links us with a pioneer era.′ (British Occupational Hygiene Society 2016)
′...a useful reference text for occupational practitioners seeking a one–stop overview of the occupational toxicology of specific substances...′ (Occupational Medicine,7th September 2016https://academic.oup.com/occmed/article–abstract/66/7/588/2222779/Hamilton–and–Hardy–s–Industrial–Toxicology?redirectedFrom=fulltext)
Over the decades since the first edition of Hamilton & Hardy s published in 1929, industrial toxicology has undergone significant growth and changes. Today, there are more than 70,000 industrial chemicals in common use, but regulatory agencies struggle evaluating risk and establishing standards and exposure limits for all of them.
That is where this new edition of an acclaimed reference comes in a concise resource that offers a wealth of information on industrial exposures and toxicants, with expert contributors having distilled a vast amount of toxicity information about major occupational and industrial chemicals. Detailing all aspects of industrial exposures and toxicants, this book employs the succinct chapter format that has become the hallmark for the previous editions.
Organized by substance and including the latest research on industrial toxicants, the sixth edition of Hamilton & Hardy s Industrial Toxicology:
Updates and expands coverage with new chapters covering regulatory toxicology, toxicity testing, physical hazards, high production volume (HPV) chemicals, and workplace drug use
Includes information on occupational and environmental sources of exposure, mammalian toxicology, industrial hygiene, medical management and ecotoxicology
Aids toxicologists, industrial hygienists, and occupational physicians to investigate workplace health problems.
Featuring contributions by frontline international experts from academia, industry, and regulatory agencies; Hamilton & Hardy s remains a must–have reference for anyone involved in occupational and environmental health, safety, and toxicology.
