Foreword
The present volume is being brought out by Dr. Kavindra K. Kesari which explores in detail multidisciplinary approaches to environmental toxicology, with a focus on the following aspects: • The effects of man-made electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) on human health proposed mechanisms and biological effects and measures; • An overview of nanotoxicity, nanomedicine and cancer research. • A bio-computational approach to the molecular interaction of environmental carcinogens with DNA. • The toxicology of environmental pollutants in the air, dust, soil, water and natural toxins in the environment: exposure and health. • Social insects as environmental indicators of ecotoxicological effects in different ecosystems. Environmental toxicology deals with the effects of chemicals on human health and the environment.
