Endocrine Disruption Modeling

Based on the research of an international panel of contributors from industry, academia, and regulatory agencies, this book provides an excellent overview of approaches for modeling the endocrine activity of chemicals and the related potential adverse effects they may induce on environmental and human health. It focuses on chemicals accidentally released into the environment and also on the specific design, in agro-chemistry, of chemicals acting on the endocrine system of insects to control them. An interesting feature of the book is the bringing together of these two aspects of endocrine disruption, which are based on the same modeling concepts. It includes a review of available e-resources.
