How Can Mechanistic Understanding Benefit Public Health?
Mechanistic understanding in toxicology can significantly benefit public health by informing the development of safer chemicals and pharmaceuticals. It aids in the identification of biomarkers for early detection of toxic exposure and disease, and supports the design of interventions to prevent adverse health outcomes. By improving our understanding of how toxicants affect biological systems, we can take proactive measures to enhance safety and reduce the burden of chemical exposures on society.
