How Do Standardized Protocols Impact Public Health?
Standardized protocols play a significant role in protecting public health:
1. Risk Assessment: They provide a scientific basis for assessing the risks associated with chemical exposures, helping to prevent adverse health effects.
2. Regulatory Decisions: Protocols inform regulatory decisions on chemical safety, including bans, restrictions, and permissible exposure levels, ensuring consumer and environmental safety.
3. Public Confidence: Transparent and consistent testing protocols increase public confidence in regulatory decisions and the safety of products on the market.
