How Do Toxicologists Address Ethical Considerations?
Toxicologists must address various ethical considerations, particularly concerning the use of animals in research. Efforts to minimize animal testing include the development of alternative methods such as the 3Rs principle (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) and the use of advanced technologies like organ-on-chip systems. Additionally, toxicologists are responsible for ensuring that their findings are communicated transparently and used ethically to improve safety standards and public health policies.
