"The Department of Health works to protect and improve the health of people in Washington State"

I would like to share some basic information on toxicology I found written by Elizabeth Casarez of the Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center at the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy.  I have found this to be useful in my non-major class on Consumer Chemistry and I plan to incorporate it into the safety information for my General Chemistry classes.  I hope you find it useful for introducing toxicology basics to appropriate classes.

At this link is a PowerPoint presentation on Principles of Toxicology and an accompanying handout in both PDF and Word Format.  http://coep.pharmacy.arizona.edu/curriculum/tox_basics/index.html< /span>

Best regards to everyone.

David
