This book has arisen from my involvement in teaching a BSc course in Toxicology and Pharmacology over the last 16 years. After devising questions of various types over this time I discovered how difficult and time consuming this can be. To refine the questions and put them together into a book with suggested answers seemed a useful endpoint which could be used by toxicologists at all levels.

I wish to thank Andy Shaw for his pharmacokinetics questions and Elaine Stott at Taylor & Francis for her help. However, I am especially grateful to Cathy Waterfield for producing all the figures and setting up the manuscript as camera ready copy, as well as for her patience.

London, April 1997.

The questions are a mixture of multiple choice, short answer and problem solving questions and are not meant to reflect a particular level of knowledge or development. Consequently some of the answers may be short whereas others are quite lengthy, even in the same question. are

Although based loosely on Principles of Biochemical Toxicology, this book can be used alongside a number of standard toxicology texts which are listed below.
