Our professor assigned us to translate some sections of this overwhelmingly abhorrent textbook. It is thus clear for me why no one ever has done it before; this anomaly is not meant to be read, let alone translated.

clearly never meant to be read by a mere mortal. indigestible

i only read this book because it was recommended by my toxicology professor,i did not finish it as i only read some sections it was ok i guess but i think it could have been better concerning understanding the subject and i needed to look for other sources in order to understand many points .

Il primo libro con cui si approccia la tossicologia.

I really liked this book and would recommend it to any toxicologist or food/agricultural engineer that deal with toxins.
