Biologic Markers in Immunotoxicology

This volume examines whether environmental pollutants pose a threat to the human immune system, addressing a critical question in environmental health research. As scientific understanding advances, biologic markers have emerged as powerful tools for detecting early immune system changes and preventing environmentally related diseases. As the third book in a series on biologic markers, this volume focuses specifically on the human immune system and its responses to environmental toxicants, offering expert guidance on advancing immunotoxicology research in humans.
