The course covers basic concepts, knowledge and methods in toxicology, including the disposition of toxic substances by the body, how toxic substances react with biomolecules and lead to target organ toxicity / non-organ directed toxicity, knowledge about toxic substances, as well as applications of toxicology in environmental health and other application areas.

CILO-1: Discuss essential toxicological concepts. CILO-2: Describe how toxicants are absorbed, distributed, biotransformed and excreted in the body. CILO-3: Explain the science underlying major toxicological testing methods. CILO-4: Explain the properties and biological consequences of toxic agents. CILO-5: Discuss the principles of risk assessment, diagnosis and treatment for toxicity. CILO-6: Discuss the applications of toxicological principles and knowledge in environmental, occupational and regulatory toxicology. CILO-7: Identify environmental toxicants and assess the risk to public health. CILO-8: Interpret the mechanisms underlying non-organ directed and target organ toxicity.
