Exposure and Health Risks to Consumers

The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive resource on what is known and what we need to know about toxicants present in food packaging materials and household plastics. This includes identifying human exposure scenarios for consumers, summarizing relevant known and emerging health effects, and recommending additional research needed to address data gaps that will allow for improved risk assessment for human populations. This book is meant to be a resource across disciplines and should be useful to toxicologists, environmental health scientists, food scientists, and regulators in the areas of food safety and environmental health sciences.
