Medical toxicology

From WikiMD's WELLNESSPEDIA

General toxicology is a field of science that helps us understand the harmful effects that chemicals, substances, radiation, or situations, can have on people, animals, and the environment.

Medical toxicology[edit]

Medical toxicology is a subspecialty or branch of medicine dealing with toxicology and providing the diagnosis, management, and prevention of poisoning and other adverse effects related to environmental and or occupational exposure to chemicals, radiation, poisons and substance abuse.

What do medical toxicologists do?[edit]

  • Medical toxicologists provide evaluation and treatment for chemical-associated outbreaks and assist in public health investigations.
  • Medical toxicologists also offer medical management of both biological and chemical casualties, public health risk assessment, and radiation exposure associated evaluations.
