Abstract

The article "Aviation Toxicology" discusses the importance of toxicology in aviation safety, emphasizing the need to investigate the use of psychoactive substances among aviation professionals. The research suggests implementing surveillance and control methods to identify and mitigate risks associated with drug and alcohol consumption. The text discusses the collection of toxicological data and accident analysis, highlighting the relevance of interviews with victims and families to understand lifestyle habits. Additionally, it proposes centralizing information in a system that allows for the development of risk indices and rates, contributing to the prevention of aviation incidents. The proposed methodology aims to integrate physical, psychological, and physiological aspects that influence flight safety.
