What Are Some Approaches to Studying Chemical Mixtures?
Toxicologists employ various approaches to study chemical mixtures, including:
Experimental studies: Laboratory experiments that evaluate the effects and interactions of chemicals in controlled settings. Mathematical models: Computational models that simulate the behavior and effects of mixtures, often using empirical data. In silico methods: Computer-based techniques that utilize databases and algorithms to predict chemical interactions. Epidemiological studies: Observational studies that analyze data from populations exposed to mixtures in real-world settings.
