Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chemical industry has been and is still one of those most contributing to the development of the society. But alongside this positive development fact, an implicit risk must be placed: many chemical substances, both inorganic (heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic, cadmium and copper, among others, as well as compounds such as asbestos, among others) and organic (solvents such as chloroform, carbon tetrachloride or acetone; hydrocarbons, pesticides and psychoactive drugs, both natural and synthetic, among many others), have specific or general potential toxic hazards. The study of the toxic scope of these substances, which are present in our daily life in food, medicines, utensils, work, and others, provides us with very interesting information to prevent and recover from the dangerous organic unbalances that such substances can cause us.
This Special Issue of Toxics aims to deepen the study of toxic substances, their properties, and their mechanism of action. In addition, it also focuses on analyzing the effects of intoxications, including professionals, on the organisms of the living beings as a result of the accidental or provoked ingestion of any of these toxics.
