Several principles guide the study and application of toxicology in health:
The Dose Makes the Poison: The severity of toxicity is directly related to the dose. Individual Susceptibility: Genetic and physiological differences can affect an individual's response to a toxin. Exposure Assessment: Understanding and evaluating exposure levels is crucial for risk assessment. Risk Assessment and Management: Identifying, evaluating, and controlling risks associated with toxic exposures is essential for protecting public health.
