• Toxicology- is the science of POISON, including not only their physical and chemical effects but also their detection and antidote. Toxicity is the ability of a substance to produce injury upon reaching a susceptible site in or on the body. Substances are ranked according to a system of toxicity ratings used to indicate their relative hazard: 

1. No toxicity- for materials that cause no harm under condition of normal use or that produce toxic effects only because of overwhelming dosage or unusual conditions.
2. Moderate toxicity- for materials producing moderate effects on skin or other organs of the body from either acute or chronic exposure. 
3. Severe toxicity- for materials that threaten life or cause permanent physical impairment or disfigurement from such exposure.

• Drug Testing- is used to test past or recent intake of prohibited drugs. In this kind of testing we can use several specimens this include hair, saliva, blood, urine, etc.  Last year there was a drug testing in our town, randomly. That  made me scared!!! hahaha! This test is important to determine if you're taking prohibited drugs.
