What Are the Challenges in Assessing the Toxicity of Aromatic Compounds?
Assessing the toxicity of aromatic compounds presents several challenges. First, the wide variability in chemical structure and reactivity means that each compound must be evaluated individually. Additionally, the persistence and bioaccumulation potential of some aromatic compounds complicate risk assessments. Moreover, the interactions of aromatic compounds with other environmental pollutants can lead to synergistic or antagonistic effects, further complicating toxicity evaluations.
