BookDOI
Biological monitoring of toxic metals.
TL;DR: An overview of several important aspects of biological monitoring is given, which can be used to identify individuals, or groups of individuals, with high exposure or at high risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reproductive and developmental toxicity of metals.
TL;DR: Metal exposure in the male, the nonpregnant female, and the maternal-offspring unit is discussed, and consideration must be given to effects on the fertilized ovum, the growth of the embryo, and to the fetal and perinatal stages.

Tore Syversen,Polly R. Sager,Thomas W. Clarkson,John B. Cavanagh,Anljot Elgsaeter,Hans Cato Guldberg,Si Duk Lee,Marshall A. Lichtman,N. Karle Mottet,Joanna B. Olmsted +9 more
TL;DR: This chapter discusses toxic agents that have been used as tools to elucidate the structure and function of the cytoskeleton and presents a summary of such compounds.
Book ChapterDOI
Structure and Function of the Cytoskeleton
Polly R. Sager,Tore Syversen,Thomas W. Clarkson,John B. Cavanagh,Arnljot Elgsaeter,Hans Cato Guldberg,Si Duk Lee,Marshall A. Lichtman,N. Karle Mottet,Joanna B. Olmsted +9 more
TL;DR: The number and diversity of cellular processes subserved by the cytoskeleton are impressive, and it is not surprising that numerous toxic agents have been found to act upon it.
Book ChapterDOI
An Overview of the Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity of Metals
Thomas W. Clarkson,Gunnar F. Nordberg,Polly R. Sager,Maths Berlin,Lars Friberg,Donald R. Mattison,Richard K. Miller,N. K. Mottet,N. Nelson,J. Parizek,Patricia M. Rodier,H.H. Sandstead +11 more
TL;DR: This volume focuses on the effects of metals on reproduction and development for several reasons, including the fact that the current tendency in a number of countries is to delay parenthood to later years with the result that the preconception exposure period is increased.
