Computational Toxicology for Drug Safety and a Sustainable Environment is a primer on computational techniques in environmental toxicology for scholars. The book presents 9 in-depth chapters authored by expert academicians and scientists aimed to give readers an understanding of how computational models, software and algorithms are being used to predict toxicological profiles of chemical compounds. The book also aims to help academics view toxicological assessment from the lens of sustainability by providing an overview of the recent developments in environmentally-friendly practices. The chapters review the strengths and weaknesses of the existing methodologies, and cover new developments in computational tools to explain how researchers aim to get accurate results. Each chapter features a simple introduction and list of references to benefit a broad range of academic readers.
