IUPAC Toxicology Glossary with Chemical Safety Annexes

John H. Duffus from the University of Edinburgh compiled this glossary of terms used in toxicology. It is a revision of IUPAC glossaries, incorporating new terms and definitions for hazard and risk assessment. The resource includes three annexes covering abbreviations, acronyms, and carcinogenicity classifications.

• Reference international abbreviations and acronyms based on the dedicated annexes.
• Check carcinogenicity classifications based on the weight-of-evidence annex.
• Translate medical terms frequently found in toxicological literature based on the glossary's inclusion criteria.

Strengths

• Compiled by an author affiliated with the University of Edinburgh.
• Based on revisions of official IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) glossaries.
