How does the OECD contribute to Chemical Risk Assessment?
The OECD contributes to chemical risk assessment through its Harmonized Integrated Classification System. This system helps categorize chemicals based on their hazards, such as carcinogenicity or reproductive toxicity. Additionally, the OECD provides tools and databases, such as the QSAR Toolbox, which aid in predicting the properties of chemicals and assessing their risks without extensive animal testing.
