Abstract

Toxicology, the scientific study of adverse effects that occur in living organisms due to exposure to chemicals, has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its critical role in various fields such as medicine, environmental science, and public health. This article provides an overview of toxicology, including its principles, methodologies, and applications. By understanding the mechanisms underlying toxicity, researchers and practitioners can better assess and mitigate the risks associated with exposure to hazardous substances.
