Toxicology deals with the interaction of chemicals and the living organism. It is the subject of a summary of basic information on substances that damage the living organism. The subject acquaints with the fate of the substances in the organism and their effects on them and with the way of their toxicity. Several lectures focus on selected inorganic and organic toxic substances and some of their groups. One lecture introduces the prevention of accidents, principles of safe work with toxic substances, describes firefighting and first aid bases. Other lectures briefly describe the environment, the flow of substances and energy in it. The final lectures follow up on the topic of toxic substances in the environment and the problems associated with them.
