- (1888PressRelease) October 28, 2012 - Toxicology deals with the study of harmful effects of chemicals on living organisms, and encompasses Biology, Physics and Chemistry. The father of modern toxicology is considered to be Mathieu Orfila, and newer methods are available to assess the toxic effect are developed for specific species.
The factors in studying the effect of toxins include the species affected, route of exposures, dosage of the chemical, environment and others. In certain toxicology studies, no effect is observed below a threshold, while it rises with magnitude, termed as 'classic dose response curve'. Scientists and researchers have been carrying out tests to establish the effect of chemical dosages, as the role of toxicologists comes into the picture here.
Professionals in toxicology mostly graduate in the sciences discipline and pursue the practical studies required through lab-centric courses. The job of a toxicologist can be forensic, to assess affects of poisoning, or it might just be the affects of chemicals on the habitats of certain species. The career path of toxicologists thus branch out into specialized functions.
