Abstract

Immunotoxicology is a specialized branch of toxicology that examines how chemicals and environmental agents impact the immune system. This field is crucial for understanding how exposure to various substances can disrupt immune function, potentially leading to a range of health issues, including increased susceptibility to infections, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. As our environment becomes increasingly complex with the presence of numerous chemicals and pollutants, the study of immunotoxicology provides essential insights into how these agents affect immune health.
