Biography

Turuvekere Subrahmanya Shanmukha Dikshith, PhD, was responsible for the establishment of the Pesticide Toxicology Laboratory at Industrial Toxicology Research Centre, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Government of India, Lucknow, India. He was director of the Toxicology Research Laboratory, VIMTA Labs Ltd., Hyderabad, India. He also worked as a consultant, Pharmacology Division, Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT), Hyderabad, India. Dr. Dikshith served on the committees and expert panels constituted by different ministries of the Government of India. As an expert committee member, he also served the Central Insecticides Board (CIB), Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine and Storage, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, India. He is a member of the World Health Organization Task Group on Environmental Health Criteria Documents and the International Program on Chemical Safety. Dr. Dikshith is the technical specialist for Standards Australia Quality Assurance Services (SAQAS), Australia, and Lloyd Register Quality Assurance Ltd. (LRQA), London, for the quality management of the laboratory and good laboratory practice. He is also the recipient of the Chandra Kanta Dandiya prize in pharmacology.

As a fellow of the World Health Organization, Dr. Dikshith has worked at the Institute of Comparative and Human Toxicology, Albany Medical College, Albany, New York, and also at the International Center of Environmental Safety, Holloman, New Mexico. He has worked in several laboratories in France, Germany, and Canada. Dr. Dikshith has edited Toxicology of Pesticides in Animals published by CRC Press, Boca Raton, Florida, and has authored a book chapter published by Plenum Press, New York. He has also authored several other books, including Safety Evaluation of Environmental Chemicals published by New Age International Publishers, India; Industrial Guide to Chemical and Drug Safety published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Hoboken, New Jersey; and Safe Use of Chemicals: A Practical Guide and Handbook of Chemicals and Safety published by CRC Press, Boca Raton, Florida.

"This book is mainly a listing of the hazardous properties and commercial uses for several hundred common chemicals. … the format appears to be quite useful … information is presented as readily understandable blocks of text, rather than just numeric values. … Summing Up: Recommended."
—H E. Pence, emeritus, SUNY College at Oneonta, CHOICE, February 2014

"The power of this book is the consistent summary of the hazards and advice on reducing exposures to a wide range of chemicals. … Students, chemical safety officials, and industrial hygiene professionals will find this book extremely useful. Dr. Dikshith has patiently distilled the critical health and safety information on hundreds of chemicals found in the workplace. Dr. Dikshith has met the challenge of assembling chemical health and safety information that is too often scattered across multiple sources into a practical volume that many will find helpful."
—Steven Gilbert, INND & Affiliate Professor University of Washington
