Synopsis:

The lecture gives a comprehensive survey of toxicology of chemicals. It deals with general and special toxicology, legislation and work safety in chemical laboratory. Several selected chapters are devoted to analytical and predictive toxicology. General toxicology explains toxic indices, their determination and interpretation, hazard and risk, mechanisms of absorption, distribution, biotransformation and elimination of chemicals in a body, mechanisms of toxic effects and factors governing these effects. Physicochemical and biochemical interpretation of toxic actions is stressed.

Requirements:

The lecture is intended for students of all chemical branches. The basic knowledge of physico-chemical, organic, and inorganic chemistry and biochemistry is supposed. The exam is a test, to meet the requirement is more than 60% of the possible points.
