Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Toxicology of the Skin" book to their offering.  This key volume of the Target Organ Toxicology Series provides a fresh and modern approach to the subject of skin toxicology from the perspective of how the skin forms a barrier that protects the body from the external environment and how chemicals and drugs interact with the barrier properties of the skin. Examples and case studies of chemical toxicity include topical exposures from metalworking fluids, as well as arsenic, bromine, jet fuel, sulfur mustard and the emerging area of nanomaterial penetration.
