Experimental Toxicology

Experimental toxicology is the study of the effects of potentially hazardous materials on living organisms and the environment. It uses a combination of laboratory experiments, field trials, and theoretical models to measure and assess the toxicity of a substance. By examining the potential effects of toxic substances on cells, organs, and the environment, toxicologists can help inform and guide public health, environmental policy, and regulation. Toxicology data can be used to protect people and the environment, to set safe levels of exposure to toxic substances, and to develop risk management strategies in order to protect vulnerable populations.
