Seattle, WA -- A Small Dose of Toxicology: The Health Effects of Common Chemicals, 2nd
Edition, by Steven G. Gilbert, PhD, DABT, was released as a free e-book by Healthy World
Press (www.healthyworldpress.org) on January 18, 2012. A Small Dose of Toxicology is
an introductory toxicology textbook that examines the health effects of common chemical
agents and places toxicology within the framework of everyday life. Agents covered include
not only obvious candidates such as lead, mercury, and solvents, but familiar compounds
such as caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine. Additional chapters cover basic toxicology, targets
of toxic agents, risk assessment, history, and ethics.
This revised and expanded second edition is available only as an e-book and contains
numerous hyperlinks to articles and PowerPoint presentations on Toxipedia
(www.toxipedia.org), the free, wiki-based toxicology encyclopedia. Links to references and
other informational websites are also included. Free copies can be downloaded to
computers or e-readers (in EPUB, Kindle MOBI, or PDF format) from
www.healthyworldpress.org.
A Small Dose of Toxicology is designed for students of all ages who are interested in
learning about how common everyday chemicals affect their health. Teachers can freely
access PowerPoint slides and links to current references for each chapter on Toxipedia,
which is a complementary learning platform and provides a window into current scientific
knowledge. Both Toxipedia and Healthy World Press strive to engage students and
readers by placing scientific information in the context of history, society, and culture.
