How Can Toxicology Inform MARPOL's Future Regulations?
Toxicology can significantly influence the future direction of MARPOL regulations by providing scientific evidence and insights into the risks and impacts of various pollutants. Through research and monitoring, toxicologists can identify new hazardous substances, evaluate their toxicological profiles, and propose updated measures to manage these risks effectively. Collaboration between toxicologists, policymakers, and maritime industry stakeholders is essential to ensure that MARPOL remains robust and adaptive in the face of evolving environmental challenges.
