Summary
Industrial Toxicology as a scientific discipline and management system. Compounds dangerous for human
health and their impacts: system toxicity, cancerogenity, mutageneicity,
reproduction toxicity, teratogenity, corrosivity, irritant properties,
environmental toxicity and other effects (endocrine disruptors, allergens,
sensibilitation). Dose - response dependens, limits of dangerous compouns in
