Toxicologists study responses using various methods, including in vitro (test tube) and in vivo (animal) studies, as well as epidemiological studies in human populations. These studies help identify the toxic properties of substances and their potential health effects, providing data for risk assessment and regulatory decision-making.
In conclusion, understanding the response in toxicology is key to assessing the risks associated with chemical exposure. By analyzing factors such as dose-response relationships and individual variability, toxicologists can identify safe exposure levels and help protect human health and the environment.
