Indirect Food Additives and Polymers

• Covers all of the available toxicology data and regulatory information for nearly 2,000 potential food contaminants!
• Helps evaluate toxic properties of both existing and future packaging materials Includes both American, European, and Russian toxicological data
• Presents information for a number of widespread food and water contaminants, heavy metals, and solvents - not limited to toxicology

Indirect Food Additives and Polymers: Migration and Toxicology studies the potential hazards of indirect additives for human health and develops recommendations for their safe manufacture and use.

Indirect Food Additives and Polymers contains an impressive review of basic regulatory, toxicological, and other scientific information necessary to identify, characterize, measure, and predict the hazards of nearly 2,000 plastic-like materials employed in packaging. The author presents the data underlying federal regulations - previously unavailable a single volume.

The entry for each chemical provides:

Prime Name • Molecular or Structural Formula • Molecular Mass • Synonyms • CAS Number • RTECS number • Properties • Application and Exposure • Migration Data • Acute Toxicity • Repeated Exposure • Short-Term Toxicity • Long-Term Toxicity • Immunotoxicity of Allergenic Effect • Reproductive Toxicity • Mutagenicity • Carcinogenicity • Chemobiokinetics • Standards • Guidelines • Regulations • Recommendations • References.

International in scope, the Indirect Polymeric Additives: Migration and Toxicology offers comprehensive data on the toxic effects of polymeric materials and their ingredients.
