Vibration: White Finger in Industry

Abstract

cology with excellent chapters on liver and eye.The third unit covers toxic agents.with outstanding chapters on teratology, carcinogens, pesticides, solvents and vapours, air pollutants, and social poisons.The last unit deals with clinical, forensic, industrial, and veterinary toxicology aiming to give guidance on how to act properly and avoid the pitfalls of the trade.The chapter on industrial toxicology by H. F. Smyth covers step by step the basic principles and rules, including budgeting and ethics, to be followed by an industrial toxicologist.Without any doubt this book will be a success because it fills a gap.Because of the differentiation of toxicology into widely diverse fields, everybody, even the professional toxicologist, needs education in most of the fields covered by the authors.Considering the length, the satis- factory references and indexing, and the quality of printing, the price is not exorbitant.Although not written specially for people working in the field of occupational medicine and health, they can hardly afford to omit this book from their libraries.
