What are the Challenges in Assessing Potential Toxicity?
Assessing potential toxicity poses several challenges. One significant issue is the variability in response among different populations, making it difficult to predict effects accurately. Another challenge is the limited data available for many substances, especially new chemicals. Additionally, the complexity of mixtures and interactions between different substances can complicate toxicity assessments. Advances in toxicogenomics and alternative testing methods are being explored to address these challenges.
