Ecotoxicology
Inflammation is the body's localized response to injury or infection, characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain. This protective mechanism aims to eliminate harmful stimuli, such as pathogens or damaged cells, and initiate the healing process. Inflammation can be acute, occurring rapidly after an injury, or chronic, persisting over a longer period and potentially leading to tissue damage and organ-specific toxicity.
