Ecotoxicology
*******************
Session 4: Environmental and Eco Toxicology
Environmental Toxicology: How chemicals interact with environmental species and human physiology
The European Centre for Ecotoxicology and Toxicology of Chemicals (ECETOC) give a detailed perspective on environmental toxicology, a life science discipline that seeks to understand how chemicals, both natural and man-made, can interact with environmental species and human physiology to cause harm
Toxicology, a life science discipline, seeks to understand how chemicals, both natural and man-made can interact with environmental species and human physiology to cause harm. The art of toxicology has been known since the time of Socrates who was executed in 399BC using hemlock; a poison that acts slowly.
Toxicology as a science matured from this time with notable figures, such as Paracelsus and came of age after the thalidomide catastrophe of the early 1960s (human) and the discovery of the adverse effects of chemicals such as the insecticide DDT (environment). These adverse events directly led to the methods and supporting international legislation that now underpins the risk assessment of chemicals (in the widest context including drugs) on both human and environmental health. In counterbalance to chemical risk, it must be recognised that chemical use has brought substantial benefit to society.

#Toxicology : The Dose Makes the Poison” ********************************************* The Dose Makes the Poison; by #Paracelsus is indicates the basic principle of #TOXICOLOGY . The principle relies on the finding that all chemicals—even water and oxygen—can be toxic if too much is eaten, drunk, or absorbed. He explains, all things are poison, and nothing is without poison, the dosage alone makes it so a thing is not a poison. Join us to discuss more about the topic Toxicology at the Global Summit on Toxicology scheduled this October 25th and 26th at the beautiful city of #Paris .

We get exposed to lots of chemicals in the form of medicines, cosmetics and various other kinds of xenobiotic agents. The extent to which they can affect our living system the positive and negative effects they elicit, the adverse outcome etc. are dealt in  Toxicology Studies The adverse outcome may be a disease, disorder, discomfort or irregularity in growth patterns. The dose is the major factor which influences and determines toxicity. Greater the exposure to a chemical greater is its toxicity. LD50 is the major term considered in toxicology. With focus on particular aspects of Toxicology, there are several subspecialties like ·         Toxicogenomics ·         Toxicologic Pathology ·         Genetic Toxicology ·         Forensic Toxicology ·         Environmental Toxicology ·         Clinical Toxicology ·         Human and Health Toxicology Toxicology mainly being a branch of Pharmacology involves many basic aspects which are to be discussed thoroughly at
