With the MeeTox project, we wanted to investigate how the population understands the concept of toxicity and whether toxic substances can be found in products that we use every day and that are considered safe. Are these facts worrying and where do people look for information about toxicity and the safe use of different products? Having identified the need for education, we created educational materials, presentations and videos, prepared texts and then developed an online course that adults can take to familiarize themselves with the basics of toxicology and understand the difference between potential toxicity and the risk of harm to health. The creation of the originally conceived booklet, which has evolved into a comprehensive publication, the MeeTox book “Meet the toxicity – live safely”, covering various topics, also provided an opportunity to introduce toxicology as a science to a lay audience. By acquiring toxicological knowledge, each individual is enabled to critically engage with, recognize, evaluate and effectively use information about toxicity. In this way, they can protect their health and preserve the environment through responsible behavior.
