How Does Toxicology Inform These Regulations?

Toxicology provides the scientific foundation for assessing the risk posed by various chemicals. It involves the study of dose-response relationships, which help determine safe exposure levels. Toxicologists conduct toxicity testing to identify potential health effects, such as carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, and neurotoxicity. This data is critical for setting Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) and other safety standards.
