Books by Michael A. Kamrin

This book familiarizes the reader with the current knowledge of toxicology and with how the society uses this understanding in managing toxic substances. It explains how the general principles of toxicology are applied in assessing the acute, subacute and chronic effects of chemicals.

Pesticide Profiles: Toxicity, Environmental Impact, and Fate is like three books in one - it is a profile containing information about 137 pesticides, a primer of environmental toxicology, and an extensive trade name index. Profiles of each pesticide contain regulatory information, toxicity assessments, environmental fate data, physical properties, and acceptable exposure limit values. What these values and data mean in terms of human toxicity is clearly interpreted as well. The book also describes the meaning of carcinogenicity and how it is assessed in non-technical terms the non-expert can understand. Readers with a technical background are provided with the data to make their own judgments.
