Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

Students got survey in base of toxicology. Listener after graduation subject orients in principle of common and experimental toxicology, knows toxic effects of choice matter, including mechanism of their incidence and possibility limitation hazards or effect intoxication.

Teaching methods

Summary

Lecture from toxicology serves basic survey about toxicology for students of all specialization. Historical development of toxicology, partition, content and purposes. Includes common and special toxicology, legislative and rules of safeness work in chemical laboratory. In common toxicology: common interpretation toxicity of chemical substances, dependence effect on tax, toxic indices, print interactive coaming, gadgetry and manifestations toxic effect). Next part of lecture is devoted to legislative, concerning chemical materials and work with them.
