Toxicology is the study of how chemicals can affect both people and other living things.
<h3>What is the importance of toxicology?</h3>
The scientific study of harmful effects caused by chemicals on living things is known as toxicology. It entails keeping track of and documenting symptoms that appear after exposure to harmful chemicals. Typically, toxicity only occurs when a chemical that may be harmful reaches sensitive tissues, such the reproductive organs, in excess of a predetermined amount.
The processes by which these compounds cause toxicity will be investigated by toxicologists, as well as the methods for identifying these substances in diverse sample types.
A further aspect of toxicology is determining the best ways to handle people or animals that have been exposed to specific poisons.
Environmental toxins, naturally occurring chemicals, pharmaceutical compounds created for human use in medicine, and other substances are all evaluated by toxicologists.
