Organic Chemistry II
Toxicology is the scientific study of the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms, including their detection, mechanisms of action, and how they affect human health and the environment. Understanding toxicology is crucial in assessing risks associated with exposure to various substances, particularly those that are persistent in the environment or bioaccumulate in living organisms, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Toxicologists investigate how these compounds can cause harm and work to develop safety regulations and guidelines to protect public health.
