What Are Some Challenges in Toxicological Surveillance?
Several challenges can impede effective toxicological surveillance:
Data Gaps: Limited data availability, especially for emerging contaminants and in low-resource settings, can hinder comprehensive risk assessments. Technological Limitations: The need for advanced analytical methods and equipment that may not be readily available or affordable. Interdisciplinary Coordination: Effective surveillance requires collaboration across various disciplines, including environmental science, public health, and toxicology. Privacy Concerns: Protecting individual privacy while collecting and using personal health data for surveillance purposes.
