How do international standards influence toxicological policy?
International standards and agreements play a significant role in harmonizing toxicological policies across different countries. Organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS), and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) develop guidelines and frameworks that help countries align their regulations. This global cooperation is essential for addressing transboundary issues such as chemical pollution and hazardous waste management.
