| 摘要： | 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. Although toxicology borrows knowledge from the fields of biology, chemistry, immunology, pathology, physiology, and public health, the most closely related field to toxicology is pharmacology. Economic toxicology, environmental toxicology, and forensic toxicology are 3 main branches of toxicology. Toxicology is a multidisciplinary field. Aerospace toxicology could be considered closely related to aerospace medicine. In this overview, a literature search for the period of 1960-2007 was performed, covering aerospace toxicology- related subject matter. The article is divided into the sections of introduction, agricultural aviation (aerial application), aviation combustion toxicology, postmortem aviation forensic toxicology, cabin air contamination, and references. Further readings are also suggested. It is anticipated that this overview article would be a reference source for the topics related to aerospace toxicology. |
