Glosater – Introduction to Spanish version

Toxicology has well demonstrated his quality as multidisciplinary science, various branches whose professional work very different sources; also its terms and concepts must often be handled by lawyers, coroners, different members of administration- concentrations, etc.. This makes it very convenient to a glossary that clearly establishes the sense or meaning of many words which may be confused or interpreted differently by professional toxicologists and even different basic training; this risk may be in the literal translation of the glosses, what has been taken into account in preparing this version.

Although its title, Glossary of IUPAC seems destined only to chemicals, This is justified by the nature of the entity that has promoted, understand that their extensive content is useful to all types of toxicologists and applicable to all branches of toxicology as, actually, has been the intention of the IUPAC. Therefore, Spanish Association of Toxicology, doing his, recognizes its multidisciplinary nature and adapts the title to his broad perspective; for this reason in the Spanish version introduced some terms or meanings which in the opinion of the authors of this supplement the original English, to about 1.200 words or expressions, hoping to increase the usefulness of the glossary.

The authors thank the readers any suggestions, qualifications, propuetas corrections or other terms that might be taken into account in a second edition.

User Notes

In order that they may be more conveniently related terms, expressions have been ordered by several words formed the basis of the most significant among them; (eg inhibitory concentration and inhibitory dose, figuran como “inhibitoria, concentration” and “inhibitorya, dose”, etc.. or, acceptance of risk or risk assessment or risk markers, figuran como “rilisted asclass ="tr_" id="tr_0" data-token="YWNlcHRhY2nDs24," datriskce="">aceptación”, “riesgo, evaluation”, “riesgo, markers”, and so on.), with what materials are collected by family or toxicological.

As for the acronyms, although sometimes collected as English and Spanish (for example LPG and BPL; DNA and DNA), generally remain the symbol and order in English, unless they are generally known in Spanish, in order not to double its number and recognizing his extensive international use (TLV, NOAEL, and so on.).
