How Does Toxicology Improve People’s Lives?

 Toxicology is the scientific study of the adverse effects of chemicals or physical agents on living organisms. It encompasses the study of the nature, effects, and detection of toxic substances, as well as their mechanisms of action and the treatment of toxicological emergencies. Toxicologists study the toxic properties of substances in order to determine the risks they pose to human health and the environment and to develop ways to prevent or mitigate these risks. Remote toxicology is the practice of conducting toxicology assessments, evaluations, or consultations remotely, typically using telemedicine technologies, such as video conferencing, remote monitoring, or digital communication tools. Remote toxicology is particularly useful for assessing and managing patients with acute or chronic exposure to toxic substances, such as drugs, both prescribed and recreational. This approach improves the efficiency, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness of toxicology services.
