What are the common causes of fatalities in toxicology?
Fatalities in toxicology are often caused by exposure to toxic substances, which can include pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, household products, and environmental pollutants. Acute poisoning, chronic exposure, and accidental ingestion are typical scenarios leading to toxicological fatalities. For instance, carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty heating systems and accidental overdoses of medications such as opioids are common causes of death.
