This book presents clinical and forensic toxicology as an applied field that connects medical science with legal investigation, focusing on the detection, interpretation, and implications of toxic substances in the human body. It explores how chemical agents influence physiological systems and how their presence can be identified and analysed in clinical and forensic settings. The discussion considers the role of toxicological evidence in understanding injury, illness, and cause of death, alongside the scientific methods used to examine biological samples and physical traces. It also reflects on the integration of toxicology with forensic practices, including investigative procedures, documentation, and medico-legal evaluation. Attention is given to the interpretation of evidence within legal frameworks, highlighting the importance of accuracy, reliability, and professional judgement. By linking scientific analysis with legal application, the text provides a comprehensive perspective on the role of toxicology in both healthcare and justice systems.

The book aims to develop the reader's ability to understand toxicological processes, interpret forensic evidence, and apply scientific knowledge effectively in clinical assessment and medico-legal investigations.
