What Are the Benefits of Using Alternative Testing Methods?
Traditional toxicological testing often relies on animal testing, which raises ethical concerns and may not always accurately predict human reactions. Sustainable technology in toxicology advocates for alternative testing methods such as in vitro assays, computer modeling, and high-throughput screening. These methods not only reduce the need for animal testing but also offer faster, more cost-effective, and possibly more accurate assessments of chemical toxicity. By adopting these alternatives, researchers can better predict potential toxic effects while adhering to ethical standards.
