Can Emerging Technologies Contribute to Safer Chemicals?
Emerging technologies, such as nanotechnology and computational toxicology, offer promising avenues for developing safer chemicals. Nanotechnology allows for the design of materials at the molecular level, which can enhance safety by improving the delivery and efficacy of drugs while minimizing side effects. Computational toxicology uses computer models and simulations to predict the toxicological effects of chemicals, reducing the need for animal testing and speeding up the safety assessment process.
