• Abstract:
  The field of aerospace toxicology is composed of aerospace and toxicology. The term aerospace—that is, the environment extending above and beyond the surface of the Earth—is also used to represent the combined fields of aeronautics and astronautics. Aviation is another term frequently and interchangeably used with aerospace and aeronautics and is explained as the science and art of operating powered aircraft. Toxicology is the basic science of poisons. It deals with the adverse effects of substances on living organisms. Any substance could be poisonous, depending upon its exposure amount and frequency.
