Chemical, Biological & Nuclear Exposures Expert Witness
Humans can be exposed to chemical, biological, and nuclear toxins in a number of ways. These harmful agents can be transmitted through air, touch, or inhalation/consumption. Chemical toxins include lead, mercury, and asbestos; biological entities are viruses and bacteria; nuclear toxins are typically radioactive elements. Exposure to any toxin is highly dangerous. Typically, physicians in this field of medicine must isolate toxins so as to reduce the number of people who are exposed to them, as well as treat those patients who have come into contact with them.
