The Target Organ Toxicology Series reviews the morphology, physiology, biochemistry, cellular biology, and developmental aspects of various target organs. Topics covered by books in the series include the incidence of chemically induced human disease related to the organ system, the reliability of laboratory data, methods used to estimate human risks, chemicals that adversely affect specific organs, and public health and environmental implications.
