Pesticide Toxicology

Pesticide toxicology is the study of the health risks posed by pesticides in humans and other living organisms. It involves the evaluation of the toxicity of different pesticides and their metabolites and the health risks posed by their residues in the environment. Through research and testing, the toxicology of pesticides can help to determine the safety of their use, including their potential for acute and chronic toxicity. Additionally, this research may guide the implementation of regulatory policies and provide insight on the safety precautions that need to be taken to protect people and the environment.
