The advancement of preventive toxicology, as of any other branch of science, is accompanied by the development of many new concepts and ideas. Terms used in toxicology not only often have several synonyms, but one and the same term may frequently be interpreted in various ways or used to mean different things. The Glossary is primarily concerned with terminology used in preventive toxicology but also includes some terms used in literature on toxicology from related disciplines.
