Extra information

hhaunton8149 — 2018-10-22 16:07:23 UTC

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.
