How Does the Right to Erasure Impact Toxicological Research?
Toxicological research often relies on historical data to track trends, validate findings, and ensure public safety. The right to erasure can pose challenges, particularly when individuals request the removal of data that may have been used in longitudinal studies or risk assessments. Researchers must balance the need to uphold individual rights with the scientific value of retaining data. This necessitates clear communication with participants about data usage and retention policies at the outset of data collection.
