To know scope and definition of toxicology,

Describe how toxicologist

work and manage

toxicants,Understand dose-

response relationship and

interactions

TOXICOLOGYTOXICOLOGY : The study of the : The study of the adverse effectsadverse effects of a of a toxicanttoxicant on on living organismsliving organisms..

Toxicology related closely to Pharmacology, Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Chemistry, Epidemiology, Pathology, Genetics, Public Health, Medicine, etc.

HazardHazard – physical situation that can – physical situation that can damage:damage:

– people people – plant plant – EnvironmentEnvironment

RiskRisk – likelihood of hazard occurring – likelihood of hazard occurring

RiskRisk = = hazardhazard * probability * * probability * consequenceconsequence

1. Toxicant/ Toxin/ Poison/ Hazard any agent capable of producing a

deleterious response in a biological system

2. Adverse/Toxic effects any unwanted change from an organism’s

normal state dependent upon the concentration of active

compound at the target site (receptor)for a sufficient time.

3. Living organism cellular target sites/ storage depots and

enzymes

COMMON TOXICOLOGY QUESTIONSCOMMON TOXICOLOGY QUESTIONS

1. What is a poison?

2. Where dose it come from? (exposure Q)

3. How does it get into living organism?

(exposure Q)

4. What does it do to living organism?

(mechanism Q)

5. How can we treat/prevent this toxicity?

(clinical Q)

Toxicity rating or class

Probable lethal oral dose for human

Dosage for average adult

1. Practically nontoxic

> 15 g/kg more than 1 quart (>0.94 L)

2. Slightly toxic 5-15 g/kg between pint and quart (0.47-0.94L)

3. Moderately toxic

0.5-5 g/kg between ounce and pint (28 mL-0.47L)

4. Very toxic 50-500 mg/kg between teaspoon and ounce (5-28 mL)

5. Extremely toxic

5-50 mg/kg between 7 drops and teaspoon

6. Supertoxic < 5 mg/kg a taste (less than 7 drops)

THE DOSE-RESPONSE RELATIONSHIP

The dose-response relationship (from C.D. Klaassen, Casarett and Doull’s Toxicology, 5th ed., New York: McGraw-Hill, 1996).

Synergist / Synergist / SynergismSynergism::

Synergism is increased activity (toxicity) resulting from the effect of one chemical on another.

LD50 DDT = 250 mg/kg

LD50 synergist = 1,000 mg/kg

LD50 DDT + synergist = 50 mg/kg
