How many Types of Toxicology Testing is done?

 

Toxicological testing plays an important role in ensuring the safety of food, cosmetics and chemical products. Toxicology is the applied medicine that studies the harmful effects of chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, environmental pollutants, and industrial chemicals. It is a science that studies the toxicity, severity, frequency and mechanism of toxic effects of chemical substances on organisms, as well as qualitative and quantitative evaluation of toxic effects. It is a discipline that predicts its harm to the human body and the ecological environment, and provides a scientific basis for determining the safety limit and taking preventive measures. Through animal experiments and human observations, the toxicity of a chemical and its potential hazards are elucidated, in order to evaluate the safety of human use of these chemical substances, and to provide a theoretical basis for the formulation of preventive measures, especially health standards.

Toxicology Overview

Toxicology is the science that studies the damage/harmful effects and mechanisms of exogenous chemicals, physical and biological factors on organisms and ecosystems, as well as the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of poisoning.

 

Toxicology, also known as toxicology, is the study of the harmful effects of exogenous chemicals and physical and biological factors on biological organisms and their mechanism of action, and then to predict the severity of their harm to the human body and the ecological environment.

The science that provides scientific basis for taking control measures is also a subject for qualitative and quantitative evaluation of toxic effects. 

Through animal experiments, clinical observations and on-site investigations, the toxicity, poisoning amount, intrusion route, poisoning mechanism, and pathological process of poisons are studied, and the basis for diagnosis, treatment, prevention of poisoning and the formulation of relevant health standards are provided.

According to different research objects, it is divided into clinical toxicology (drugs and toxicants encountered in daily life), industrial toxicology (productive toxicants), radiotoxicology (radioactive substances, food toxicology (harmful substances in food), Military toxicology (war agents), insect toxicology (interaction between insecticides and insects), etc.

There are also branches classified by system and organ, such as neurotoxicology, liver toxicology, and skin toxicology.

 

Since the purpose of toxicology research is to provide a scientific basis for the protection of the health or safety of organisms, toxicology belongs to preventive medicine in terms of the nature of the discipline, and runs through the idea of ​​prevention first.

 

Toxicology is closely related to pharmacology, and has now developed into an independent discipline with certain basic theories and experimental methods, and has gradually formed some new branches of toxicology. 

Toxicology can be divided into industrial toxicology, military toxicology, environmental toxicology, pharmaceutical toxicology, forensic toxicology and radiotoxicology according to its research purpose and the characteristics and uses of the chemical substances studied.

 

What are the Research Objects of Toxicology?

Toxicology has a wide range of research objects, including chemical factors, physical factors, and biological factors, and organisms include humans, animals, and plants. Therefore, toxicology is related to pharmacology, physiology, pathology, chemistry, biochemistry and biology.

It is related to industry, agriculture, economy, etc.

It is related to forensic science, clinical medicine, ecology and environmental protection

It can be said that it is related to the entire future of life on Earth is connected. Therefore, toxicology is widely used in clinical medicine, pharmacy, environmental protection, zoology, prenatal and postnatal care, occupational labor protection and food hygiene.

 

Classification of Toxicology

The classification of toxicology is very complex and can be classified from different angles, and it is not completely consistent.

From the research content, it can be divided into three parts: descriptive toxicology, mechanism toxicology and management toxicology (also known as regulatory toxicology).

It can be divided into: 

  • Forensic Toxicology
  • Clinical Toxicology
  • Management Toxicology or Regulatory Toxicology
  • Research Toxicology, etc.

 

From applied toxicology, it can be divided into: food toxicology, industrial toxicology, pesticide toxicology, military toxicology, radiotoxicology, environmental toxicology, ecotoxicology and other branches.

 

The research objects can be divided into: 

  1. Insect toxicology
  2. Veterinary toxicology
  3. Human toxicology 
  4. Plant toxicology

 

From the research fields, it can be divided into: drug toxicology, environmental toxicology, food toxicology, industrial toxicology, clinical toxicology, forensic toxicology, analytical toxicology, military toxicology, management toxicology, etc.

 

From the target organs or systems studied, it can be divided into: liver toxicology, renal toxicology, neurotoxicology, reproductive toxicology, immunotoxicology, skin toxicology, blood toxicology, etc.

 

From the mechanism research can be divided into:

  • Cytotoxicology
  • Genetic toxicology
  • Membrane toxicology
  • Biochemical toxicology
  • Molecular toxicology

From the phase or process of toxic action, it can be divided into: toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics.

 

 What is toxicology journal?

Toxicology is a scientific academic journal published since 1973. Published 36 times a year, the journal investigates the positive effects of xenobiotics on human and other animal health. Currently, the editors-in-chief of the journal are H.W.J. Marquardt and K.B. Wallace of the Department of Toxicology, University of Hamburg, Germany. According to the 2012 Journal Citation Report, "Toxicology" has an impact factor of 4.017, ranking 17th out of 50 toxicology journals.

Organic Food in India Asia

  Organic food (Organic Foods) is also called ecological or biological food. Organic food is a relatively unified term for non-polluting natural food in the world. In India organic foods are getting popular at a very fast pace. Organic food usually comes from the organic agricultural production system and is produced and processed according to international organic agricultural production requirements and corresponding standards. In addition to organic food, some derivative products such as organic cosmetics, textiles, forest products or production materials provided by organic food, including biological pesticides and organic fertilizers, are collectively referred to as organic products after certification.
