Toxicology

Definition of Toxicology as it relates to Science, Environmental Science

Toxicology is the scientific study of adverse effects on living organisms due to chemicals or other biological, physical, or radiological agents. It involves understanding how these substances enter and distribute in the body, how they interact with biological systems to produce toxicity, and how exposure to them can be measured, monitored, and controlled. Toxicology encompasses a wide range of disciplines including biochemistry, pharmacology, physiology, molecular biology, genetics, and epidemiology. It is an essential component of environmental science as it helps in understanding the impact of pollutants on ecosystems and human health, and developing strategies for risk assessment, mitigation, and management.
