What Are the Challenges in Assessing Toxicological Risks?
Assessing toxicological risks in energy storage involves complex challenges. The chemical composition of batteries is diverse, and chemical interactions during use and disposal can alter toxicity. Furthermore, the rapid pace of technological advancement means that toxicological assessments must be continuously updated to reflect new materials and designs. Collaboration between toxicologists, engineers, and policymakers is essential to address these challenges effectively.
