How Can We Assess the Impact of Environmental Toxins?
Research in toxicology utilizes several methods to assess the impact of environmental toxins on neurodevelopment. Epidemiological studies often look at populations exposed to specific toxins and correlate exposure levels with incidence rates of neurodevelopmental disorders. Animal studies and in vitro models provide insights into the mechanisms of toxicity and the potential outcomes of exposure. Biomonitoring is also crucial for assessing exposure levels in humans and identifying at-risk populations.
