Assessing toxicity in humans involves a combination of methods:
In Vitro Studies: Using human cell lines to study toxicity mechanisms and potential effects. Animal Models: Although they provide valuable insights, differences between species necessitate careful interpretation of results. Human Epidemiological Studies: Observational studies that track exposure and health outcomes in populations over time. Biomonitoring: Measuring the levels of chemicals or their metabolites in human tissues or fluids to assess exposure.
