How Does the IOM Influence Toxicology Research and Policy?
The IOM influences toxicology research and policy by publishing comprehensive reports that synthesize current scientific knowledge and provide actionable recommendations. These reports often address emerging issues in toxicology, such as the health impacts of endocrine disruptors, nanomaterials, and chemical mixtures. The IOM's recommendations can lead to changes in regulatory practices, guide future research priorities, and inform public health interventions.
