Toxicologists study toxic agents and their effect on living organisms. It is the job of toxicologists to make sure that substances remain harmless. Their goal is to protect the health and safety of all living things.
Toxicologists do experiments to find out how toxic a substance is.
Some toxicologists work for government agencies. They develop programs to increase public awareness about common chemicals. They try to inform people about the risks and benefits of the chemicals they use every day. They may develop policies to regulate the use of harmful substances.
Medical toxicologists work with patients who have been exposed to harmful chemicals. They do research to try and prevent these dangerous situations from happening. Veterinary toxicologists do similar work, but with animals.
Many people in this field work as professors in universities. They do research on chemicals and teach students.

Toxicologists do experiments to find out how toxic a substance is. They collect water and soil samples to test in their labs. They might observe plants and animals in the field. They analyze their findings to decide what type of risk they are dealing with. They record these findings and write reports.

Toxicologists tend to specialize in one area. Some do research on new products before they are sold in stores. They might do tests to make sure these products are safe. Many of these experts work in the pharmaceutical industry. They test new drugs before they are released to the public. Others work in the food industry and test new food products.
