How Do Environmental and Occupational Exposures Add Complexity?
Environmental and occupational exposures introduce another layer of complexity. These cases often involve multiple individuals and sources, complicating the identification and quantification of exposures. Chronic exposure to low levels of toxicants in the workplace or environment can also lead to cumulative effects, making it difficult to pinpoint the cause of toxicity. Regulatory standards and guidelines play a crucial role in managing these exposures, but they are often based on limited data and may not account for all variables involved.
