Hi Pablo,

I use the book recommended by Christoff in my Ecotox course. Also, the followings:

- Ecotoxicology: a comprehensive treatment (Newman & Clements).

- Environmental Toxicology (Wright & Welbourn).

Introduction to Environmental Toxicology: Impacts of Chemicals Upon Ecological Systems, Landis & Yu

James Sacco

I have sometimes used "An Introduction to Environmental Toxicology" by Michael H. Dong

Claude R Petit

Though a bit older (2002) this one was really comprehensive: DJ Hoffman et al- (eds) and more than 75 experts: handbook of ecotoxicology second ed, lewis publishers.

Michael Dong

As explained in my text "http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Environmental-Toxicology-Third-Edition/dp/1494324083", ecotoxicology is a branch of toxicology different from environmental toxicology. Furthermore, nowadays environmental toxicologists and health regulatory agencies around the world are more concerned with contemporary issues such as plastic marine pollution, electronic waste problems, H1N1 pandemic, trans fat, etc.

Pablo Ruiz-Rudolph

THanks Michael for the clarification. Indeed I was looking for a text that focus on human health and regulatory aspects, I will check you textbook and consider it for my classes. Thanks!

Pablo

Pablo, you're welcome.

I will be teaching Environmental Toxicology next semester as a graduate level course, and all these textbooks have been recommended by others. The professor teaching this course in the past used Casarett and Doull's Toxicology: The Basic Science of Poisons. It is an expensive book but very comprehensive in their latest edition. My background is more ecological and addressing biodiversity. I feel that Environmental toxicology is highly human health oriented so I am more inclined to use an Ecotoxicology book like Newan's 3rd ed. Any more discussion on the topic is deeply appreciated

Michael, your book Intro to Enviro Tox looks pretty comprehensive but I was not able to identify reviews except for the one you added in the 3rd edition. Is there a way to get this book as a desk copy? Thanks

Abdelaziz Elgamouz

Hi Michael, I am trying to use your book as text for my environmental toxicology class, however I can not find a PDF, slides or an electronic resources for the text.
