What are the challenges in diagnosing toxic-related health conditions?
Diagnosing health conditions linked to toxic exposure can be challenging due to the latency period between exposure and the onset of symptoms, variability in individual susceptibility, and the non-specific nature of symptoms. For example, symptoms of lead poisoning, such as fatigue and abdominal pain, are common to many other conditions. Advanced diagnostic techniques, including biomonitoring and toxicogenomics, are being developed to improve the identification of toxic-related health issues.
