How Can Exposure to Genotoxic Substances be Minimized?
Minimizing exposure to genotoxic substances involves several strategies. Regulatory bodies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), establish guidelines and limit permissible exposure levels to protect human health. Individuals can also reduce their risk by avoiding known sources of genotoxins, such as smoking and excessive consumption of processed foods, and by using personal protective equipment when handling hazardous chemicals.
