AB Toxicology  is  the  study  of  the  adverse  effects  of  substances  on  living  organisms.  Any  substance  is  considered  a  poison  when  exposure  results  in  a  damaging  physiological  effect  (toxic  effect).  Among  the  agents  that  can  produce  toxic  effects  are  pharmaceuticals,  illicit  drugs,  plants  and  botanicals,  and  myriad  chemicals  and  pollutants.  Chapter  76  focuses  on  environmental  toxicology.  This  chapter  focuses  on  clinical  toxicology,  the  discipline  of  toxicology  that  studies  undesired  effects  of  pharmaceutical  therapies  in  humans  and  the  effects  and  treatment  of  poisoning.
