Kacew, Sam | Lambert, George H.
Today's society is highly dependent on a vast array of chemicals and chemical processes to maintain or improve the current standard of living. However, the extensive use of such chemicals can result in the inadvertent exposure of the fetus and the neonate. In this new resource, all of the recent advances and extensive developments in the field are detailed. Beginning with a review of the pharmacokinetic characteristics, metabolism, renal handling, etc. of chemicals and drugs in the fetus, lactating infant, and developing newborn, the book then goes on to discuss topics such as maternal fetal exposure, toxicologic problems in Eastern European pediatric populations, heavy metals, pesticides, contaminants and breast milk, solvents and solvent abuse, aspartame, over-the-counter drugs, PCBs, caffeine, genetic predisposition to toxicity, retinoids, and silicone breast implants.
