A toxicologist explains how to accurately interpret environmental risk — cutting through both industry denial and environmental overclaiming. Relevant for anyone researching NAT2, GSTM1, and chemical sensitivity variants.
Frank and Ottoboni (both toxicologists) explain the core concepts of dose-response, threshold effects, endocrine disruptors, cumulative exposure, and how regulatory agencies actually derive safety limits (LOAEL, NOAEL, reference dose). Designed for the non-scientist who wants to reason clearly about chemical risk.
A standard reference in undergraduate environmental-health curricula and one of the most-used lay introductions to toxicology.
These peer-reviewed studies connect to the core ideas in this book. Each result has been scored for reliability.
Two researchers document exactly how environmental chemicals enter the body and accumulate — using themselves as test subjects. Covers BPA, phthalates, organophosphates, and other compounds relevant to NAT2 slow acetylator and PON1 genetic research on chemical sensitivity.
Covers evidence-based detoxification strategies, what actually works versus what is marketing, and how different people process environmental exposures differently. Directly relevant to GSTP1, NAT2, and NQO1 research on individual detoxification capacity.
Directly relevant to MTNR1B, AR, ESR1, and SHBG variants — endocrine disruptors operate through the same receptor pathways your genomic variants influence. Understanding the environmental load on your hormonal system is inseparable from understanding your genomic profile.
