How Do Regulatory Agencies Contribute to Toxicology?
Regulatory agencies play a significant role in toxicology by setting exposure limits, conducting risk assessments, and enforcing safety standards. Agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) work to protect public health by regulating the use and disposal of hazardous substances. These agencies also conduct research and provide guidance on best practices for reducing toxic exposure.
