This book investigates the effects of environmental pollutants on the nervous system, focusing on neurotoxicology. It covers chemicals such as heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial solvents that induce neurotoxicity, leading to cognitive and behavioral impairments. The text emphasizes mechanisms of neuronal damage, exposure assessment, and prevention strategies to protect neurological health. Suitable for neurotoxicologists and environmental health scientists, it advances understanding of pollutant impacts on the nervous system.
Tate Clarke specializes in neurotoxicology, investigating how environmental pollutants affect the nervous systems of humans and wildlife. His research explores the mechanisms through which chemicals like lead, mercury, and pesticides induce neurodegenerative diseases and behavioral disorders. Tate has developed biomarkers for early detection of neurotoxic exposure and its neurological effects. He has published extensively on the long-term consequences of neurotoxicants on cognitive and motor functions. As an editor, Tate provides guidelines for toxicologists and neuroscientists to study and mitigate the neurotoxic impacts of environmental pollutants, promoting neurological health through informed toxicological interventions.
