Toxicology
Toxicology is the scientific study of the adverse effects of chemical, physical, or biological agents on living organisms. It involves understanding how these agents interact with biological systems and the mechanisms by which they cause harm.
The field of toxicology aims to assess and predict the potential hazards and risks associated with exposure to various substances, including pharmaceuticals, environmental pollutants, industrial chemicals, and natural toxins. Toxicologists study the toxicity of substances at different levels, including cellular, organ, and whole organism, to determine the potential health effects and establish safe exposure limits.
