Overview of toxicological and epidemiological research methods used to assess the effects of toxicants. 3. Clinical evaluation and management of patients. 4. Information on specific reproductive and developmental hazards (radiation, video display terminals, ergonomic factors, noise and vibration, metals, asphyxiants, organic solvents, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, polyhalogenated biphenyls, viral infections, home and community exposures). An appendix lists exposure limits for some hazardous chemicals. |
