Q: What is the term for the study of the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms?

Did You Know?

True. The scientific examination and analysis of data from digital devices and systems is known as **digital forensics** (or cyber forensics, computer forensics). It involves the recovery, preservation, and investigation of material found on digital devices, often in relation to computer crime. Key sub-disciplines include: **Computer forensics** (desktops, laptops, storage media), **Mobile device forensics** (smartphones, tablets), **Network forensics** (monitoring and analyzing network traffic), and **Digital image/video/audio analysis**. Digital forensic examiners follow a strict protocol: they create a forensic copy (image) of the original storage media without altering it, use specialized software to analyze the copy, recover deleted files, examine internet history, decrypt data, and trace user activity. Their findings are used in criminal cases (fraud, cyberstalking, child exploitation), civil litigation, and corporate investigations. Maintaining a documented chain of custody for digital evidence is as critical as for physical evidence.
