Baselt’s Disposition of Toxic Drugs and Chemicals
Baselt’s Disposition of Toxic Drugs and Chemicals
Supporting confident interpretation of analytical results in toxicology
Trusted worldwide to support expert interpretation of complex toxicological data, enabling scientists and health professionals to confidently diagnose poisoning, and manage acute human exposure to drugs and chemicals.
Strengthening confidence in the interpretation of analytical data, this trusted resource is built on an extensive foundation of primary source evidence to provide concise summaries of the physiological disposition of substances in the body, and the most relevant methodologies to detect them.
Examining the full range of factors that influence interpretation including dose, timing, metabolic pathways, post-mortem changes, and individual variability.
Upcoming Baselt Webinar
Join us as we discuss how to evaluate toxic drugs and chemicals, focusing on the unique clinical and analytical challenges that arise when drug identification and interpretation are not straightforward. During this expert-led webinar, we will explore the complexities of toxicological analysis and drug disposition. We will guide you through interpreting complex data and optimising analytical strategies, with a focus on accurate interpretation and patient safety.

Editor
Dr. Bruce Goldberger is an internationally recognized forensic toxicologist, educator, and author whose career has been dedicated to advancing analytical and forensic toxicology. He recently retired as Professor of Pathology, Immunology, and Laboratory Medicine and Director of Toxicology at the University of Florida College of Medicine. Dr. Goldberger has made significant contributions to the science and practice of forensic toxicology. His research has led to numerous peer-reviewed publications, book chapters, and invited presentations, and his work has influenced medicolegal death investigation, drug monitoring and surveillance, public policy, and scientific standards. Dr. Goldberger is the past president of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, the American Board of Forensic Toxicology, and the Society of Forensic Toxicologists, and is Emeritus Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Analytical Toxicology.
Rebecca L. Hartman
PhD
Associate Editor
Dr. Rebecca L. Hartman is the Chief Toxicologist and laboratory director of the Monroe County Office of the Medical Examiner (MCOME) Toxicology Laboratory in Rochester, NY, USA, performing postmortem, driving under the influence, and drug-facilitated crimes casework. She also serves as faculty for the University of Rochester Forensic Pathology Fellowship Program (administered through MCOME), training forensic pathology fellows on toxicology and drug interpretation. Her research interests include drugs and driving, as well as developing tools to facilitate success for laboratories with limited funding. In addition to her work with Baselt, Dr. Hartman is an Associate Editor for the Journal of Analytical Toxicology, a TIAFT Bulletin Editor, and also serves on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Forensic Sciences. She is a member and current Vice Chair of the SOFT/AAFS Drugs and Driving Committee, and previously served as Editor and Co-Chair of the TIAFT Communications Committee.
Continuing a toxicology legacy
First published by founding editor Dr Randall C. Baselt in 1978, Disposition of Toxic Drugs and Chemicals in Man remains an essential reference for interpreting analytical data in clinical, medical, and forensic settings.
Pharmaceutical Press is proud to continue its legacy with the 12th edition now available digitally with planned regular updates.
