This Laboratory Manual is designed to accompany the texts, Fundamentals of General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, 2nd Edition and Elements of General and Biological Chemistry, 6th Edition by John R. Holum. It is also appropriate for any one- year course treating a survey of chemistry at this level, and for one-term courses covering the whole spectrum of any part of it. The experiments have been used by students and have been frequently revised following student polls regarding clarity and interest and suggestions from instructors. The questions on the Report and Observation Sheets have again been adjusted in the light of student comments and more room for answers has been provided on many Report Sheets.

Explains recent advances in environmental studies and the molecular basis of life. Designed for those in the health care field, it focuses solely on organic and biochemistry.

This multi-author work deals with the practical aspects of teratogens - chemicals which cause birth defects. It is designed for use as a unique guide to these chemicals in which one can find all relevant information. The issues covered include: how to obtain information about the teratogenic potential of chemicals; teratogenic chemicals in undergraduate chemistry laboratories; safe handling of teratogenic chemicals; teratogenicity of pesticides and other pollutants in the environment; occupational exposure and pregnancy outcome; identification and prevention of reproductive hazards in industry; and the long-term effects of chemicals on the developing brain. A list of approximately 5,000 chemicals known to cause reproductive effects is given. A comprehensive bibliography is included with each chapter providing up-to-date references for more in-depth coverage. The monograph will be of interest to academic and industrial chemists, health professionals, as well as both undergraduate and graduate students in health and related sciences.

First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
