Preventing toxic outcomes involves a combination of risk assessment, regulatory measures, and public education. Risk assessment entails evaluating the potential hazards of a chemical and determining safe exposure levels. Regulatory agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), set limits and guidelines based on these assessments. Public education campaigns and safety training also play a crucial role in preventing toxic outcomes by informing individuals about the risks and safe handling of hazardous substances.
