Environmental Toxicology Diary

We are going to move to a bit complexed subject. We have learned toxicology and epidemiology study, the characteristics and the comparison between them. Now it is time to discuss about the inside process of how toxic chemicals enter the body. When the toxic chemicals enter the body via absorption, the process of distribution, metabolism […]

To learn about toxicology, we have to know about the methods used to obtain information associated about specific chemical exposure. Thus, it is necessary to learn at least two very crucial methods which are epidemilogy and toxicology studies.

There are several sources to gain information used to establish acceptable exposure levels. They are chemical analogies, […]

Toxic chemicals have specific effects observed, from organ failure, electrolyte transfer inhibition and other cases. One specific research had found out that aluminium chloride contained in drinking water will significantly reduce fertility. The research was conducted on a toxicology test in a controlled laboratory with mice as the animal object.
The present of aluminium chloride […]

While selection bias happen because of the way we select the object study to build relationship or association between a suspected causative agent and disease or illness, observation bias is focused to the bias of the means of getting information about the study. This kind of bias is generally involved when you are doing retrospective […]

The most important thing for environmental toxicology study is to establish the association between a suspected causative agent and associated disease or illnesses. Several methods have been described in epidemiology and toxicology study. You have learned about fundamental difference between epiedemiology study and toxicology study. Now we will learn about one factor that should be […]
