Toxicology history is fun, fascinating, and educational. Numerous experiences, poisonings, and catastrophes have occurred throughout history that teach us valuable lessons. Today’s webinar will cover three major topics in the history of toxicology:

Case Study #2: Nitrous oxide — from laughing gas curiosity to surgical anesthetic
