A toxicologist explains how to accurately interpret environmental risk — cutting through both industry denial and environmental overclaiming. Relevant for anyone researching NAT2, GSTM1, and chemical sensitivity variants.
Frank and Ottoboni (both toxicologists) explain the core concepts of dose-response, threshold effects, endocrine disruptors, cumulative exposure, and how regulatory agencies actually derive safety limits (LOAEL, NOAEL, reference dose). Designed for the non-scientist who wants to reason clearly about chemical risk.
A standard reference in undergraduate environmental-health curricula and one of the most-used lay introductions to toxicology.
These peer-reviewed studies connect to the core ideas in this book. Each result has been scored for reliability.
Two researchers document exactly how environmental chemicals enter the body and accumulate — using themselves as test subjects. Covers BPA, phthalates, organophosphates, and other compounds relevant to NAT2 slow acetylator and PON1 genetic research on chemical sensitivity.
Covers evidence-based detoxification strategies, what actually works versus what is marketing, and how different people process environmental exposures differently. Directly relevant to GSTP1, NAT2, and NQO1 research on individual detoxification capacity.
