How can toxicological research inform public health policies?

Toxicological research provides crucial data that can inform public health policies aimed at reducing the burden of CVD. For example:
- Regulation of pollutants: Evidence linking air pollution to CVD has led to stricter air quality standards.
- Occupational safety: Understanding the cardiovascular risks associated with certain chemicals can lead to improved safety regulations and protective measures in workplaces.
- Consumer safety: Research on endocrine disruptors has influenced policies to limit exposure to chemicals like BPA in consumer products.
- Public awareness campaigns: Highlighting the cardiovascular risks of tobacco smoke and heavy metals can drive public health initiatives and behavioral changes.
