Great care has been taken to make a comprehensive study of the world literature and 730 references are quoted.There are some redundancies, threshold limit values are given on p. 7 and repeated on p. 79.A treat- ment schedule which includes under the heading 'renal' the comment 'the attitude should be one of optimism', and under 'digestive' 'stomach dressings and supervised restarting of alimentation' is presumably quoted to show the paucity of available treatmentsThe section on disturbances of the metabolism would be more logically placed at the beginning of the mono- graph and the industrial physician might wish that more mention had been made of the industrial situations where there is the possibility of dangerous exposure.As well as a list of references, which quotes only main authors, the book is well indexed.It is a most valuable review of the subject and should have a place in all libraries of industrial toxicology.
