How do regulations influence toxicological practices?
Regulations play a critical role in guiding toxicological practices. Laws such as the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) in the United States, or the REACH regulation in the European Union, establish frameworks for the safe use and management of chemicals. These regulations require toxicologists to conduct risk assessments, adhere to safety standards, and ensure proper labeling and handling of chemicals to protect public health and the environment.
