Toxicology

Introduction Administering different types of drugs, infecting innocent and defenseless animals with diseases, poisoning, implantations, and causing brain damage are just some of the elements of what animal experimentation truly is. Cosmetics, cleaning supplies, and personal care products are only a small fraction of the many products used frequently by people that are tested regularly on animals for research-based and scientific studies. Although some may be completely unaware of, we use a…

done by Goniewicz et al (2013), who is part of the Rosewell Park Cancer Institute. Maciej Goniewicz has earned, “a Pharm.D. degree (2002) and a Ph.D. in Toxicology and Pharmacology (2007) from the Medical University of Silesia, Poland” (https://www.roswellpark.edu/maciej-goniewicz). Thus, he is very qualified in finding evidence about the toxicology of e-cigarettes. With e-cigarette toxin aerosol levels way less than tobacco cigarettes, the second-hand smoke consumed by them would be way less…

They provide treatment for animals that is similar to the services a physician provides to treat humans.” ( https://www.bls.gov ) Workings conditions are…

At this training, the homicide investigation of Imette St. Guillen was used as an exemplar. The case details, evidence recovered and investigative practices used to solve this case were thoroughly discussed. I will review this case and discuss how forensic science was instrumental in assisting the criminal justice system in securing a verdict against Darryl Littlejohn. Imette St. Guillen was a 24 year old graduate student at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. On February 25, 2006, she was…
