The course has the purpose of providing the student with fundamental knowledge on the basic principles of toxicology.
In particular, the involvements of toxicity arising form the voluntary use or from the involuntary exposure of the human organism to substances of different nature will be analyzed.
The description of mechanisms through which the substances in question produce their effects, constituting a cardinal point of discipline, will pursue the objective to supply the interpretative basis of the adverse effects suffered in apparatus and organs from different categories of products.
Such knowledge will allow the student to acquire professional capacities useful specifications in laboratories of experimental and analytical survey and to carry out professional activity in the field of pharmacy-toxicologic to protect the safety of the environment, foodstuffs, cosmetic products and pharmaceuticals, summary of natural origin.

Type of evaluation
Two intercourse written assessments will be made, consisting of open questions and multiple-choice questions. The evaluation of each test will be in 30/30. Students who will get a score of at least 18 in each test will pass the exam, with a score corresponding to the average score of the two tests . Alternatively, students may also decide to have a single oral exam on the entire program of the course, with an overall evaluation in 30/30.
