"Factors that influence chemical toxicity include the dosage, duration of exposure (whether it is acute or chronic), route of exposure, species, age, sex, and environment."
"The relationship between dose and its effects on the exposed organism is of high significance in toxicology."
"There is a movement for evidence-based toxicology as part of the larger movement towards evidence-based practices."
"Toxicology is currently contributing to the field of cancer research, since some toxins can be used as drugs for killing tumor cells."
"One prime example of this is ribosome-inactivating proteins, tested in the treatment of leukemia."
"Toxicologists are experts on poisons and poisoning."
"The word toxicology () is a neoclassical compound from Neo-Latin, first attested c. 1799, from the combining forms toxico- + -logy, which in turn come from the Ancient Greek words τοξικός toxikos, 'poisonous', and λόγος logos, 'subject matter'."
