Toxicity Evaluation Using Animal and Cell Models

Toxicology is a science that studies various physical and chemical and biological harmful factors, which especially on human beings. The main task is to evaluate the possible health hazards of exogenous chemicals to the contactors and ultimately to provide the basis for controlling the hazards of chemical substances and strengthening the management of chemical substances. Toxicology plays an important role in safeguarding human health, maintaining ecological balance, and improving the environment through hazard assessment of exogenous chemicals. In this chapter, we discussed the current and future plans for the toxicity evaluation using classic and new strategies in vivo and in vitro model for toxicological evaluation of specific mycotoxin contaminants arousing food safety issues.
