What Are the Challenges in Linking Toxicological Exposure to Chronic Disease?
One of the main challenges in linking toxicological exposure to chronic disease is the long latency period between exposure and disease onset. This delay can make it difficult to establish a direct causal relationship. Additionally, the complex interplay of multiple exposures, genetic factors, and lifestyle variables can complicate the identification of specific risk factors. Advanced epidemiological studies and toxicological research are needed to overcome these challenges and improve our understanding of these relationships.
