Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Toxicology analyzes the effects of various chemical substances on living organisms, whether human, animal or environment, observing their short and long term damages and benefits. Its main objective is to prevent the harmful effects of the substances we use from affecting our health or the environment.

Forensic toxicology is a multidisciplinary science that seeks to show the truth of a fact before the law, but also to identify and quantify the harmful effects associated with toxic products, that is, any substance that can cause damage or produce changes in the body, following procedural requests for criminal investigation, being mainly supported by analytical toxicology.
