How Can Toxicological Assessments of Biodegradable Polymers Be Conducted?
Toxicological assessments of biodegradable polymers involve evaluating their chemical composition and degradation products. Techniques such as chemical analysis, in vitro testing, and in vivo animal studies are commonly used. These studies aim to determine the polymer's potential to cause harm to humans and the environment. Risk assessments also consider exposure scenarios, evaluating the likelihood and extent of exposure to potentially toxic substances.
