Medico-legal Toxicology

Medico-legal Toxicology is the science that deals with the detection, analysis, and interpretation of the toxic substances present in a person's body at the time of their death. This field of study is essential in helping to determine the cause and manner of death in cases of known or suspected intoxication. Additionally, it is used in the court of law during criminal and civil proceedings. By evaluating the presence, quantity, and effects of the toxic substances in a person's body, medico-legal toxicology can provide valuable information and help to establish the facts of a case.
