Glossary of terms used in toxicokinetics (IUPAC Recommendations
2003)
M. Nordberg*,
J. Duffus, and D. M. Templeton
Abstract: This glossary contains definitions of 365 terms frequently
used in the multidisciplinary field of toxicokinetics. The glossary
is compiled primarily for chemists who find themselves currently working
in toxicology and requiring a knowledge of the expressions used in toxicokinetics,especially
in relation to hazard and risk assessment. Some medical terms are included,
where relevant, because of their frequent occurrence in the toxicological
literature and because chemists would not normally be expected to be
familiar with them. There are three annexes,one containing a list of
abbreviations and acronyms used in toxicokinetics, one containing a
list of abbreviations and acronyms of names of international bodies
and legislation that are relevant to toxicology and chemical safety,
and one giving sources for further reading.
