Paraquat Poisoning: Mechanisms, Prevention, Treatment

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

A reference that presents the current state of understanding of paraquat's toxicity, focusing on human poisoning. It moves from historical perspectives, exposure data, and epidemiological information to describe relevant absorption and toxicokinetic aspects and to explain the spectrum of paraquat's toxicities. It describes the prevention of paraquat poisoning during normal handling, as well as appropriate decontamination measures for exposed persons and techniques for determining the prognosis in poisoned patients.
