What is Toxicology

Toxicology is derived from an Ancient Greek word "toxicos" which means "poisonous". It is a branch of chemistry, biology and medicine, which studies, the side effects of chemicals on living beings. It also detects agents which are responsible for this adverse effect. 



This effect depends mainly on two factors:

1. Dosage: The chronic and acute dosage, both is studied in toxicology.

2. Route of exposure: The route of exposure can be ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. The adverse effect depends on this factor.

3. Other Factors: Other factors include species, age, sex, environment and characteristics of species.

Toxicology helps in observing and reporting the symptoms, mechanisms, detection and treatment of toxic substances. Toxicologist goes through the hoops to treat the side effects of cosmetology.

Hence, it assists in treating adverse impact of cosmetology as it is also caused due to chemical uses. Toxicology has a crucial role in treating cosmetology adverse impacts in the following mode:

1. It serves to give knowledge about the chemical due to which the adverse impact is caused.

2. Toxicologists study how much is the toxicity of chemical?  It means it helps in ascertaining whether the toxicity is higher or less. They have eagle eyes in respect of chemicals.

3. Only with the help of toxicology, the solution to the problem is recommended after studying the cause of the effect.

In simple words, toxicology and cosmetology are, at loggerheads. Most women waste a lot of money on different beauty treatments, but no one knows that natural beauty is the real beauty.

These treatments can only give a nine days' wonder, but what about the rest? Beauty means natural tinge of us.
