Toxicology and Its Types of Toxins

Lin Fuxian

Toxicology is a scientific topic that deals with the analysis of the harmful effects of toxic substances on living organisms as well as the practice of detecting various toxins and toxicants exposures. It overlaps with biology, chemistry, toxicology, and medicine. In toxicity, the relationship between quantity and impact on the exposed organism is significant. Dosage, duration of exposure (acute or chronic), mode of exposure, species, age, sex, and environment are all ways to determine chemical toxicity.
