TY - JOUR PY - 2024// TI - Toxicovigilance 2.0 - modern approaches for the hazard identification and risk assessment of toxicants in human beings: A review JO - Toxicology A1 - Niżnik, Łukasz A1 - Toporowska-Kaźmierak, Joanna A1 - Jabłońska, Karolina A1 - Głąb, Natalia A1 - Stach, Sabina A1 - Florek, Julia A1 - Sowińska, Marta A1 - Adamczyk, Aleksandra A1 - Jurowski, Kamil SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - The attempt to define toxicovigilance can be based on defining its fundamental principles: prevention of infections with toxic substances, collecting information on poisonings, both in terms of their sources and side effects, and confirming poisonings, with the aim of improving treatment. Substances referred to include both those originating from animal bites, ingested inadvertently, and those resulting from environmental poisoning in industrial regions of countries, etc. In this review, we provide information about the crucial function of poison control centres in toxicovigilance, the importance of incorporating big data analytics and artificial intelligence to streamline toxicovigilance processes, and examples of toxicovigilance in different countries. In conclusion, we will present the direction that modern toxicovigilance should take, incorporating available artificial intelligence methods to maximise efficiency.
