About this Unit
This unit is replaced by 300877 - Toxicology from 2013. Toxicology is the study of toxicants or poisonous substances: their nature, effects on the human body, and on human, animal and plant populations. Poisonous substances have been used by humans from antiquity for both beneficial and malevolent purposes and today a vast array of toxic industrial chemicals are produced. Both accidental (workplace and environmental) and intentional (forensic) exposure are covered, in terms of group properties, toxicity, exposure potential, health impact and intervention. Forensic case studies are also addressed. Students ultimately carry out a toxicological audit of an operation or premises of their choice, meeting a range of disciplinary interests and needs.
