Question

adress and discuss one of the major issues in toxicology from any perspective

Answer 1

Toxicology is a broad based disipline that is changing and expanding continually in order to meet challange posed by the daily human and ecological exposure to chemical and other toxicants.

one of the major issue in toxicology is communication with non scientist or getting our message across.

The message or findings need to communicate that toxicology can rationally and logically asses risk and provide vital guidance. There is a need to improve a way in which toxicology can explain to general public. Toxicology involve process complex scientific information, analyze it and break it down into digestable pieces so that risk can be understood and minimized. Along with that toxicology also needed excellent communicator so that risk can be explained realistically and the perception of risk can be understood by the man in the street. Untill scientist understood how to do this effectively the gap between applied toxicology and affective/emotional processing continue to exist and toxicologist will continue to be viewed by general public with an air of suspicion.
