Issues in Toxicology

Marsupial and Placental Mammal Species in Environmental Risk Assessment Strategies Marcelo L Larramendy National University of La Plata, Argentina | Guillermo Liwszyc University of Helsinki, Finland With the expansion of human settlements and the environmental changes brought on by human activity and pollutants toxicology and risk assessment of mammal species is becoming increasingly of interest to toxicologists involved in environmental research. This book focuses specifically on environmental risk assessment in marsupial and placental mammals. Marsupial ecotoxicology is poorly understood in scientific research and as such environmental risk assessment in marsupials is an area of rapidly growing interest. This book will be an ideal companion to toxicologists and ecologists interested in risk assessment in the environments of mammals. Particularly those with an interest in the impact introduced by human activity. The book will also be of interest to those working in conservation biology, biological invasion, biocontrol and habitat management. Neurotransmitters and Toxicology Kevin Woodward KNW Animal Health Consulting, UK | TimMarrs Edentox Associates, UK Neurotransmitters are usually considered to be endogenous substances that are released from neurons, act on receptor sites that are typically present on membranes of postsynaptic cells and produce a functional change in the properties of the target cell. They are essential features of the nervous systems of all animals and numerous chemicals can act as neurotransmitters either intentionally (e.g. pesticides) or unintentionally (neurotoxins). The most common forms of neurotoxicity are the death of neurons, degeneration of axons, damage to glial cells and interference with the axonal membrane or neurotransmission. Important neurotoxins are found among pesticides, metals, solvents, natural substances, and industrial chemicals. Environmental chemicals may also contribute to the pathology of neurodevelopmental, neuropsychiatric, and neurodegenerative disorders. Neurotransmitters and Toxicology will be particularly appealing to toxicologists with an interest in neurotoxicology in a variety of sub-disciplines, as well as neuro-chemists interested in pathology and disease mechanisms associated with neurotoxicants.

About the series ISSN 1757-7179 Editor-in-chief Diana Anderson University of Bradford, UK Series editors

Alok Dhawan Centre of Biomedical Research, Lucknow, India | TimMarrs Edentox Associates, UK | Michael D. Waters, Consultant Integrated Laboratory Systems (ILS) Inc., USA The field of toxicological research is continually expanding and diversifying, driven by the need to understand the human and ecological risks of exposure to chemicals and other toxicants. This Series is devoted to coverage of modern toxicology and assessment of risk. Written by expert scientists from academia, government and industry, each book will serve as a guide to investigations in toxicology, biomedicine, biochemistry, forensics and environmental and pollution sciences.

Bisphenol A A Multi-modal Endocrine Disruptor Natalie R Gassman University of South Alabama, USA

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a high production volume endocrine-disrupting chemical present in numerous consumer products. Extensive use of BPA has led to wide- spread contamination in the air, soil, and water, leading to ubiquitous human exposure. Research into BPA has grown exponentially over the past ten years, with numerous modes of action being identified that impact human health and disease development. While BPA has estrogenic effects, emerging literature has identified several non-receptor mediated modes of action, such as epigenetic reprogramming, that can affect the long-term health of the population. This book highlights the multiple modes of action BPA can use to reprogram cells genetically and metabolically. By compiling critical studies in BPA and outlining the connections and disparities in the literature to build a broader understanding of this complex endocrine-disrupting chemical and its impact on the environment and human health, this book is an ideal resource for postgraduates and researchers in a range of disciplines from toxicology to epigenetics and cancer epidemiology. Drinking Water Safety and Contamination Assessment of Health Risks P Rumsby WRC plc, UK | Ruth Bevan IEH Consulting, UK Continual advances in industrial and agricultural processes has led to a continuing need to analyse water for chemicals and microbiologicals and assess their risk to health. This book reviews recent information on potential contamination of drinking water by chemicals, bacteria and viruses, their detection and risk assessment methodologies. It includes descriptions of contamination incidents and what can be learnt from them, and looks at the future of the global provision of pure and wholesome drinking water.
