Toxicology is the science that studies the adverse effects induced in an organism by chemical, physical or biological factors. It involves a thorough knowledge of both the chemical substance and the organism and the interaction between them.

Toxicology is not only devoted to describing the adverse effects and the mechanisms that mediate them, but also to studying the prevention and treatment of toxicity.

A modern perspective on toxicology requires a cross-disciplinary approach in differentiating between hazards and risks and their assessment.

La toxicología es la ciencia que estudia los efectos adversos inducidos en un organismo por factores químicos, físicos o biológicos. Involucra un conocimiento exhaustivo tanto de la sustancia química como del organismo y la interacción entre ellos.

La toxicología no solo se dedica a describir los efectos adversos y los mecanismos que los median, también estudia la prevención y el tratamiento de la toxicidad.

Una perspectiva moderna de la toxicología requiere un enfoque transversal en la diferenciación entre peligros y riesgos y la evaluación de ellos.
