The essential components of toxicology monitoring include:
1. Exposure Assessment: Identifying and quantifying the presence of toxic substances in the environment, food, water, and occupational settings. 2. Biomonitoring: Measuring the levels of chemicals or their metabolites in biological samples such as blood, urine, or tissues. 3. Toxicokinetics: Studying the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of toxicants in the body. 4. Hazard Identification: Determining the potential adverse health effects of toxicants. 5. Risk Assessment: Evaluating the likelihood and severity of adverse effects based on exposure levels and hazard information.
