title: Disease-causing effects of environmental chemicals.
abstract: Both toxicologic studies and studies in environmental chemistry are important in assessing the potential adverse health effects of human exposures to hazardous environmental agents. This article discusses the toxic effects of chemical concentration at the target organ or site and how the concentration is related to the level of external exposure.
