How Do Simulations Contribute to Regulatory Toxicology?
In regulatory toxicology, simulations play a crucial role in risk assessment and decision-making. Regulatory agencies like the EPA and the ECHA use computational models to screen chemicals, prioritize testing, and assess potential hazards. These models help in identifying high-risk substances early in the regulatory process, streamlining the evaluation and approval of new chemicals. Additionally, simulations support the development of guidelines and standards for safe exposure levels.
