Abstract

Toxicology is the branch of medicine that deals with the study of the adverse effects of chemicals and biological agents on the human body. It is the study of symptoms, mechanisms, treatments and detection of poisoning. The broad scope of toxicology covers not only the adverse effects of therapeutics but also environmental agents and poisons. Nanotoxicology covers safety issues relevant to nanomaterials.
