There are several types of interventions in toxicology, each aimed at different stages of exposure and effects:
Preventive Interventions: These involve measures to avoid exposure to toxic substances, such as regulations and guidelines for safe handling and use of chemicals. Emergency Interventions: Immediate actions taken in response to an acute exposure incident, such as administering antidotes or first-aid measures. Therapeutic Interventions: Treatments designed to counteract the effects of toxic exposure, including the use of chelating agents or supportive care. Public Health Interventions: Strategies implemented at the community or population level to reduce exposure and prevent outbreaks, like environmental monitoring and public education campaigns.
