Environmental toxicology, field of study in the environmental sciences that is concerned with the assessment of toxic substances in the environment. Although it is based on toxicology, environmental toxicology draws heavily on principles and techniques from other fields, including biochemistry, cell biology, developmental biology, and genetics. Among its primary interests are the assessment of toxic substances in the environment, the monitoring of environments for the presence of toxic substances, the effects of toxins on biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems, and the metabolism and biological and environmental fate of toxins. Ecotoxicology can be defined as the study of harmful effects of chemicals upon ecosystems. This implies that ecotoxicology is concerned not only with the detections of chemicals per se, but with biological effects of toxic chemicals that contaminate or have contaminated the environment. These biological effects may be anything from a molecular effect in a species to the effects on the biosphere as a whole.
Ethnopharmacology is the scientific study of ethnic groups and their use of drugs. Ethnopharmacology is distinctly linked to plant use, ethnobotany , as this is the main delivery of pharmaceuticals . It is also often associated with ethnopharmacy. However, ethnopharmacology differs from ethnopharmacy in that it is the biological evaluation of how effective traditional medicines are, whereas ethnopharmacy deals instead with much broader considerations of drug use. These considerations are related to the perception, use, and management of pharmaceuticals within a given human society. Ethnopharmacology also relates to pharmacoepidemiology , the study of how drugs are used by and affect large numbers of people. When investigating a natural product used by a culture as a medicine, it is important that the methods of collection, extraction and preparation are the same or similar to those used by the ethnic group. This is to ensure consistency and legitimacy of the experimentation. For ...
Nephrotoxicity is toxicity in the kidneys. It is a poisonous effect of some substances, both toxic chemicals and medications , on renal function. There are various forms, and some drugs may affect renal function in more than one way. Nephrotoxins are substances displaying nephrotoxicity. Nephrotoxicity should not be confused with the fact that some medications have a predominantly renal excretion and need their dose adjusted for the decreased renal function.

In the light of this theme “Future breakthrough in Toxicology and Pharmacology for the better world”, Toxicology and Pharmacology Summit aims to provide a forum for international researchers and academicians from various areas of biology, chemistry, pharmacology, and medicine by providing one kind of platform for critical analysis of new designing, and to share latest cutting-edge research findings, most recent movements and latest upgrades inside the field of Pharmacology with explicit keynote lectures, plenary sessions, Poster competition, Young Researchers’ Forum (YRF), Workshops, Symposiums and Exhibitions from elite researchers, distinguished scientists and business delegates. It allows delegates to have issues addressed on Toxicology & Pharmacology by recognized global experts who are up to date with the latest developments in the field to a common forum and also exchange ideas makes us updated about the advancements and innovations in Toxicology and Pharmacology in a wide...
