ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with the long-term effects of foreign chemicals on the body—it considers health. Although dermatitis is a common problem, toxins generally enter the body through breathing. Threshold limit values give the recommendations for permitted exposures. Toxicology controls are divided into engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment. Toxicology deals with long-term effects of foreign chemicals upon the body—it considers the effect of the chemical environment on health. The chapter provides information on poison targets that are divided into interior and exterior. Although the lungs eliminate carbon dioxide and sweat glands eliminate some salts, the primary organs for poison elimination are the liver and the kidneys. The kidney, which receives 30% of cardiac output, takes the transformed compound and puts it into the urine, with which the transformed poison leaves the body. The chapter discusses various control measures that are divided into engineering, administrative, and personal protective equipment.
