For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) works with physicians, veterinarians, ecologists, and many others to monitor and control public health threats and to learn about how diseases spread among people, animals, and the environment.

Minimal Risk Levels (MRLs) for noncancer toxic effects are derived by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), which has a congressional mandate to investigate the health effects of hazardous substances in the environment.

In this e-module you will learn about the concept of systems toxicology, dose level in toxicology, and different approaches to traditional and new toxicology.

The genetic change is referred to as a mutationand the agent causing the change is called a mutagen. If the mutation occurs in a somaticcell, it can cause altered cell growth (for example, cancer) or cell death (for example, teratogenesis) in the exposed person.

The EU's Trade Control and Expert System (TRACES) is a system for tracking live animals and food and feed of animal origin as they enter the EU and are traded within the EU.

Toxic substances can be systemic toxicants, which affect the entire body or multiple organs, or organ toxicants, which affect a specific organ or tissues. The dose of a substance is the most important determinant of toxicity. In the next section, we will explore the concept of dose and its importance to toxicology in greater detail.

Other terms that describe changes resulting from the exposure of a living organism to a substance include mode of action (MoA) and mechanism of action (MOA).

In this section, we will look into the effects of interactions among such chemicals. In this section, we explored the following key points: Interactions can occur by simultaneous exposure or if exposure to the agents is separated by time. People are normally exposed to many chemicals and combinations of chemicals every day. In the next section, we will explore various methods for testing toxicity.
