What are the Applications of Pharmacokinetics in Toxicology?
Pharmacokinetics has several applications in toxicology, including:
- Risk Assessment: Determining safe exposure levels and assessing potential health risks associated with toxic substances. - Antidote Development: Designing effective antidotes and treatment strategies based on the pharmacokinetic properties of toxicants. - Regulatory Toxicology: Informing regulatory guidelines and policies for safe chemical use and exposure limits. - Forensic Toxicology: Interpreting toxicological findings in legal cases, including estimating the time and amount of exposure.
