Title:
Toxic History!

Description:
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 #1: Aniline dyes and methemoglobinemia — how consumer products, including children’s goods, caused widespread harm

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

Case Study #3: Bongkrekic acid — key historic toxicity events and what they taught us
