How Do Stress and Toxicology Interact in Risk Assessment?
In the context of risk assessment, understanding the interaction between stress and toxicology is essential for accurately predicting the potential health risks of exposure to toxic substances. Stress can influence the threshold levels for toxicity, and therefore, risk assessments must consider stressors that might exacerbate the effects of toxicants. This approach ensures that safety guidelines and regulatory limits adequately protect human and environmental health.
