Introduction to Green Chemistry - Toxicology - Module 3

Explore fundamental toxicology concepts and the molecular basis of chemical hazards in this 49-minute university lecture from Yale's green chemistry series. Learn about toxic substances, dose-response relationships, exposure pathways, and ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion) processes while examining how toxicity categories and chemical interactions affect human health. Discover the factors that influence toxicity levels and understand the limitations of dose-response curves in assessing chemical safety. Master the scientific principles behind environmental problems and gain essential knowledge for designing safer chemicals with reduced environmental and health impacts, connecting toxicological understanding to real-world applications in green chemistry manufacturing and product development.
