Systems toxicology meta-analysis—From aerosol exposure to nanotoxicology

Nanotoxicology

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Provide scientific knowledge regarding handling and application of Nano particles in medicine. which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. In recent years Nano-structure materials have been attractive to the world of science and technology for their...

[Toxicology of meta-toluic (meta-methylbenzoic) acid].

Exposure tests in industrial toxicology.

The purpose of exposure tests for industrial poisons or other hazards is to determine if sufficient quantities of the harmful agent are being ( or have been) absorbed to cause intoxication. In interpreting such tests, the three major factors which determine whether or not intoxication occurs should be considered. The first ofthese is the time factor. Over a short period the probability of intox...

The toxicology of hydroquinone--relevance to occupational and environmental exposure.

Hydroquinone (HQ) is a high-volume commodity chemical used as a reducing agent, antioxidant, polymerization inhibitor, and chemical intermediate. It is also used in over-the-counter (OTC) drugs as an ingredient in skin lighteners and is a natural ingredient in many plant-derived products, including vegetables, fruits, grains, coffee, tea, beer, and wine. While there are few reports of adverse h...

Predictive Systems Toxicology

In this review we address to what extent computational techniques can augment our ability to predict toxicity. The first section provides a brief history of empirical observations on toxicity dating back to the dawn of Sumerian civilization. Interestingly, the concept of dose emerged very early on, leading up to the modern emphasis on kinetic properties, which in turn encodes the insight that t...
