Toxicologists manage chemical risks through several strategies:
Regulatory Measures: Governments and international bodies establish regulations for chemical use, aiming to limit exposure to harmful chemicals. Agencies like the EPA and the FDA play key roles in this process. Safety Assessments: Before chemicals are introduced to the market, they undergo rigorous testing to evaluate their safety profile. Public Education: Informing the public about chemical risks and safe handling practices is crucial in reducing exposure. Technology and Innovation: Advances in technology are continually improving our ability to detect and mitigate chemical risks.
