This book is dedicated to the immunotoxicologists and clinicians who have contributed to our understanding of immune system toxicity and the realization that the consequences of immunotoxicant exposure may extend beyond transient effects often addressed in immunotoxicity studies conducted for chemical safety assessment. Their research efforts and synthesis of data into compelling hypotheses of multisystem chronic inflammatory diseases as a function of immune system modulation and host susceptibi
