41. What Is Toxicology? Brief and Straightforward Guide What is toxicology? http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-toxicology.htm

What is Toxicology? ad_unit_target='mainAdUnit'; X Close this window The definition of toxicology is "the science of poisons". It is the study of the opposing effects of physical agents or chemicals on living organisms. As toxicology is an ever-evolving medical science, so too is our understanding of the science. Knowledge of the adverse effects of toxic agents towards the body is progressing with medical knowledge. Toxicology first began with the cave dwellers. They used poisonous plant extracts for hunting and warfare. Throughout history, hemlock, opium, arrow poisons and certain metals have all been used as used to poison enemies. Famous poisoning victims include Claudius, Cleopatra and Socrates . The founder of toxicology is thought to have been a Spanish physician named Orifila. He demonstrated the effects of poisons on organs and their associated tissue damage. Xenobiotic is a term used to describe foreign substances taken into the body. The word is taken from the Greek xeno , meaning "foreigner". Xenobiotics do not just produce toxic effects, but can also produce beneficial ones as in the case of pharmaceuticals. Whereas high doses of certain toxins in the body can lead to death, smaller doses may be harmless or even beneficial. This is known as the dose-response relationship, a major concept in toxicology. A toxic agent may be biological, physical or chemical in form. An example of a chemical toxin is

Toxicology Information Briefs County agents, homeowners, office workers, consumers, pesticide applicators, and others are often asked questions about the potential effects of the pesticides they use or that are used where they work. Questions like is it toxic? does it cause birth defects? cancer? other problems? how long does it last? will any effects or difficulties develop a long time from now? will it harm birds or other wildlife? and so on. Although there is an extensive amount of information on these subjects for most pesticides, it is not readily available. The published material that is accessible, such as product labeling or technical data sheets, is often incomplete and may rely on numbers where thorough explanations are needed.

Welcome to Clinical Toxicology Consultants International (CTCI). Everything is a poison; there is none which is not and it is only a matter of dose which separates safe from toxic! Poisons, toxins, medications, nutrients and pollutants affect the health of individuals, families, pets, communities and the environment around the world everyday. They are found in homes, workplaces, communities, or in our backyards. Poisons and/or pollutants come in the air we breathe, the medications we take, the food we eat, or they may be found in soil or building materials. In people, they can impact any single or multiple body systems resulting in asthma, cancer, reproductive failures, or acute death. They may also cause chronic degenerative diseases. Poisons, toxins, medications, nutrients and pollutants may cause similar effects in animals, both domesticated and wildlife. In the latter, poisons and pollutants can affect specific or multiple species which may results in ecosystem changes. © 2005 Qtox, LLC · "In God we Trust"
