Study material for toxicology, may these questions will help in exams.

The goal of toxicity assessment is to identify adverse effects of a substance.Adverse effects depend on two main factors:routes of exposure (oral, inhalation, or dermal) and dose (duration and concentration of exposure). To explore dose, substances are tested in both acute and chronic models.Generally, different sets of experiments are conducted to determine whether a substance causes cancer and to examine other forms of toxicity.
Toxicology is a discipline, overlapping with biology, chemistry, pharmacology, and medicine, that involves the study of the adverse effects of chemical substances on living organisms the practice of diagnosing and treating exposures to toxins and toxicants.The relationship between dose and its effects on the exposed organism is of high significance in toxicology.Factors that influence chemical toxicity include the dosage (and whether it is acute or chronic), route of exposure, species, age, sex, and environment.Toxicologists are experts on poisons and poisoning.
