Assessing adverse biological reactions is a complex process that involves several methodologies:
In Vivo Studies: Animal studies that provide information on the toxic effects of chemicals in a whole organism. In Vitro Studies: Laboratory studies using cell cultures to investigate cellular responses to toxicants. Epidemiological Studies: Human studies that examine the association between exposure to chemicals and health outcomes in populations. Risk Assessment: A systematic process to estimate the potential impact of chemical exposures on human health and the environment.
