Recenzii
“This book presents the history, chemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology of mustard compounds with an emphasis on the toxicological effects on specific organ systems. … This comprehensive book focuses specifically on the biological effects of mustard compounds, thus complementing existing books on chemical warfare agents. It should prove to be a useful reference for its intended audience.” (Beth Levant, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2016)
Notă biografică
Mahdi Balali-Mood attended Tehran University, where he was awarded a B.Sc. First-Class Honor in Chemistry in 1963 and then an M.D. in 1970. After his medical military service and training in internal medicine and clinical toxicology, he was appointed an assistant professor in clinical toxicology and became the head of his newly established Poisoning Treatment Center (PTC) at Mashhad University in 1974. He was awarded a scholarship from the Ministry of Science of Iran and completed his Ph.D. in clinical pharmacology and toxicology at Edinburgh University Medical School (1978–1981). He continued at the school as a lecturer until 1982, when he decided to return to Mashhad to advance his established PTC.

He is also Editor-in-Chief of the Scientific Journal of Birjand University of Medical Sciences (since 2002) and an associate editor or editorial board member of numerous national and international medical journals.
Dr. Balali-Mood’s research areas include clinical toxicology of chemical warfare agents, organophosphorous pesticide poisonings, heavy metals, drug abuse and overdosage, epidemiology of poisonings, occupational and environmental toxicology, and natural toxins, including snake and spider venoms. He is the author or editor of 29 books and book chapters, 147 articles, and 289 short papers and abstracts. He is also the recipient of several national and international prizes for teaching, research, and medical care. His recent books Basic and Clinical Toxicology of Organophosphorus Compounds (also with Mohammad Abdollahi) and Biological Toxins and Bioterrorism were published by Springer in 2014 and 2015, respectively.
Mohammad Abdollahi earned a Pharm.D. in 1988 from the University of Tehran and later completed a Ph.D. in toxicology and pharmacology in 1994 at the Tehran University of Medical Sciences. In 2001, Dr. Abdollahi completed his postdoctoral training in mechanistic toxicology at the University of Toronto’s School of Pharmacy. While in Toronto, he also contributed to a key meta-analysis study at the university’s School of Medicine. In 2002 he was given a full professorship at the Tehran University of Medical Sciences. There he has chaired the Department of Toxicology and Pharmacology in the Faculty of Pharmacy since 2005.
Dr. Abdollahi has authored or coauthored more than 600 journal articles and 48 book chapters and has edited 11 books.
