Toxicology
Toxicology is the scientific discipline that investigates the adverse effects, properties, and biological mechanisms of chemical, biological, and physical agents on living systems.
Overview
It examines how toxic agents undergo absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, as well as the cellular and molecular mechanisms that impair physiological function. Applying dose-response principles, toxicological studies determine quantitative thresholds of toxicity across varying exposure levels.
Why it matters
Toxicological findings establish safe exposure limits and provide the empirical basis for pharmaceutical safety evaluation, environmental standards, and chemical risk assessment.
