How does toxicology research address sensitive populations?
Toxicology research aims to understand and mitigate risks for sensitive populations through various methods:
Epidemiological Studies: These studies help identify patterns and causes of health effects in specific populations, guiding public health interventions. Animal Studies: Research on animal models can provide insights into potential effects on humans, particularly for vulnerable groups like children and pregnant women. In Vitro Studies: Laboratory studies on cells and tissues can help assess mechanisms of toxicity and identify biomarkers for susceptibility.
