How Can We Mitigate the Risks Associated with Toxic Substances?
Risk mitigation strategies include:
Regulations and Guidelines: Governments and international organizations establish safety standards and regulations to limit exposure to hazardous substances. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Using appropriate PPE can reduce exposure to toxic chemicals, especially in occupational settings. Substitution and Engineering Controls: Replacing hazardous substances with safer alternatives and implementing engineering controls can minimize risk. Public Awareness and Education: Educating the public about the risks and safe handling of chemicals can prevent accidental exposures.
