Toxicology research employs a variety of methods to study the effects of toxic substances:
In vitro studies: These experiments are conducted in controlled laboratory environments using cell cultures or isolated tissues to understand the cellular mechanisms of toxicity. In vivo studies: These studies involve testing the effects of toxic agents on living organisms, typically using animal models, to observe the systemic impact and potential health risks. Epidemiological studies: These studies investigate the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in specific populations, helping to identify associations between exposure to toxic substances and health outcomes.
