What Are Some Examples of Cost-Effective Toxicological Interventions?
Examples of cost-effective toxicological interventions include:
- Regulatory Bans and Restrictions: Implementing bans or restrictions on highly toxic substances can prevent exposure and reduce healthcare costs associated with treating related illnesses. - Public Awareness Campaigns: Educating the public about the dangers of certain chemicals can lead to behavior changes that reduce exposure and associated health risks. - Substitution with Safer Alternatives: Encouraging the use of safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals in industrial processes can reduce health risks and associated costs.
