How Do These Agencies Conduct Toxicological Evaluations?
Public health agencies employ a variety of methods to evaluate toxicological risks. This includes conducting risk assessments, which involve the identification of hazards, dose-response assessments, exposure assessments, and risk characterization. These agencies also perform toxicological testing using both in vitro and in vivo models to determine the potential health effects of substances. They rely on scientific research, clinical studies, and surveillance data to inform their evaluations.
