Descriptions Neurotoxicants and Neurobiological Function
Provided here is a critical evaluation of the literature concerning the chemical and biological properties of organic forms of environmentally relevant heavy metals. Data is presented on the economic use, chemical use and importance of the agents along with their chemical properties, biological effects and environmental fate. In addition, chapters cover the neuropathological, neurophysiological, neurochemical and behavioral effects of organotin, lead and mercury. Later chapters are devoted to a discussion of issues involved in evaluating the effects of exposure to low doses of heavy metals and the impact of experimental data on regulatory policy.
