Toxicology is the study of the harmful effects of chemicals and toxins on living organisms. There is a growing need for toxicologists as people become more concerned about the chemicals they are exposed to. Toxicologists work in various industries to evaluate the safety of products and chemicals. They can work in fields like the chemical, food, pharmaceutical and environmental industries. Some top institutes for toxicology in India include the University of Madras, West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences, Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University, and Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Agricultural University.
