Annotation -
Toxicology deals with chemical substances negative influence on living organisms. The aim of the lectures is to give basic information about hazardous chemical materials. The course presents the fate of hazardous chemicals in organisms, the type of their impacts on human being and their detrimental effects on tissues, organs,or biological processes. The relevant legislation is included. The characterization of special inorganic and organic compounds are described in details. The principles of occupational safety in chemical laboratory, first aid and prevention of accidents are covered. The part of ecology explains the hazardous compounds impact on the environment.

Syllabus -

1. Introduction and structure of subject, history of toxicology, terms and definitions

2. General toxicology - effects of chemical compounds in details (nespecific toxic, biochemical, immunotoxic, mutagenic, cancerogenic, terratogenic)

3. General toxicology - xenobiotics in organism (barriers of entrance, entrance of compounds,distribution)

4. General toxicology - biotransformations of compounds(enzymes, basic reactions, factories), excretion(organs,influencing,factories, relations)

5. General toxicology - literature sources and experimental determination, legislation

6. Special toxicology - inorganic compounds by periodic table with s and p1, p2 elements

7. Special toxicology - inorganic compounds by periodic table with p3 a p4 elements(chalcogens)

8. Special toxicology - inorganic compounds by periodic table with p5 (halogens) and p6 (rare gases)

9. Special toxicology - organic compounds: hydrocarbons,derivatives with O,N,S and halogens

10. Compounds harm to the environment, bojové chemical compounds

11. Radioactive compounds, biotoxines (bacterial, myotoxines, mushroom, plant and animal poisons)

12. Drugs (sedativs, stimulants, halucinogens, psychotropic compounds); legislation

13. Disposal with chemicals, combustibles, prevention, fire and its extinguishment

14. Occupational safety in chemical laboratory, first aid
