Food, medicine, and everyday materials are often seen as sources of nourishment and safety. Yet, hidden within daily life are toxic risks that frequently go unnoticed. Everyday Poisons and Drugs: Hidden Hazards in Daily Life explores the silent presence of chemical dangers in common environments, from stored food products and fumigants to plant-based exposures and household substances.
This book presents a forensic and toxicological perspective on how accidental poisonings occur, how toxic agents interact with the human body, and how subtle contamination pathways can lead to serious health consequences. Through scientific explanations, real-world case discussions, and analytical insights, the author highlights the importance of awareness, prevention, and proper safety practices.
Designed for students, researchers, forensic professionals, and curious readers alike, this work bridges the gap between academic toxicology and real-life exposure risks. It serves as both an educational resource and a cautionary guide, encouraging readers to look beyond the surface of everyday substances and understand the science behind hidden hazards.
