Toxicology of Solvents

Solvents have been the cause of occupational health problems for many years. Workers have been exposed through skin contact, by breathing in vapours, by splashes in the eye and, in extreme cases, by ingestion. This book examines the clinical consequences of exposure to different solvents, particularly in the workplace. Medical professionals will find useful information about antidotes, tests for exposure, and hospital management of affected patients. A glossary of medical terms is included to assist non-medical readers in understanding the d104.
