How Do Toxicologists Mitigate the Severity of Toxic Effects?
Toxicologists employ various strategies to mitigate the severity of toxic effects. These include developing antidotes and treatment protocols, enhancing public awareness about hazardous substances, and implementing policies for safe chemical handling and disposal. Furthermore, ongoing research in toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics provides deeper insights into how toxins interact with biological systems, enabling the development of more effective mitigation measures.
