What Are the Challenges in Chemical Toxicity Prediction?
Despite advancements, several challenges persist:
Data Quality and Availability: Reliable toxicity prediction requires high-quality, comprehensive data, which is often scarce. Complexity of Biological Systems: The intricate nature of biological systems makes it difficult to predict all possible toxic effects accurately. Regulatory Acceptance: Ensuring that new predictive methods meet regulatory standards is a significant hurdle. Inter-species Variability: Differences between species can complicate the extrapolation of toxicity data from animals to humans.
