Zeliger H.I. Human Toxicology of Chemical Mixtures

2nd ed. — Elsevier Inc., 2011. — 575 p. — ISBN 1437734634.In this important reference work, Zeliger catalogs the known effects of chemical mixtures on the human body and also proposes a framework for understanding and predicting their actions in terms of lipophile (fat soluble) / hydrophile (water soluble) interactions. The author's focus is on illnesses that ensue following exposures to mixtures of chemicals that cannot be attributed to any one component of the mixture.Dedication
