Inspired by the U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances' research program on mixtures, this book ties together current knowledge on methods, models and applications in mixture toxicology. The first part explains mathematical and statisticalmodels for toxicity prediction, and shows how interactions between substancescan influence the results. Special requirements for study design and experimental setup in mixture toxicology are also discussed. The second part addressesthe most common areas where mixtures are important, from environmental to occupational to medical settings. Special consideration is given to air and wateras the most commonly encountered carriers of toxic mixtures. A discussion of particle mixtures and complex mixtures rounds off this modern treatment of a basic theme in toxicology.
