Toxicology in Chemistry Underrated in scientific trends

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the adverse effects of chemicals, the discipline of toxicology examines how various factors—such as dosage, duration, and exposure route—impact living organisms. Toxicologists specialize in poisons and are pivotal in diagnosing and treating toxic exposures. The field is increasingly embracing evidence-based practices, contributing significantly to cancer research, where certain toxins are being explored as potential treatments for tumors, exemplified by the use of ribosome-inactivating proteins in leukemia therapy.
