Medical toxicology is a subspecialty of medicine focusing on toxicology and providing the diagnosis, management, and prevention of poisoning and other adverse effects due to medications, occupational and environmental toxicants, and biological agents.

Principles of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology provides a comprehensive, step by step guide to the subject.

Beginning with an introduction to legal procedures, medical jurisprudence and identification, the following chapters examine forensic methods for different causes of death, such as mechanical injury, road traffic accidents, firearm injuries, thermal injuries and asphyxia. Separate chapters are dedicated to DNA profiling and forensic osteology.

Almost 1000 images and illustrations, as well as a number of mnemonics, have been included to assist learning.

Thoroughly revamped and revised edition carrying precise information in a concise manner.
