How Can Functional Impairment Be Prevented or Mitigated?
Preventing functional impairment involves minimizing exposure to toxic substances through regulatory measures and personal protection. Regulations may include setting permissible exposure limits and enforcing safety standards in industries. Personal protective equipment (PPE) can reduce exposure in occupational settings. Additionally, early detection through regular health screenings and biomonitoring can help mitigate the effects of exposure by enabling timely intervention.
