What Are the Challenges in Toxicological Assessment of Advanced Materials?
Assessing the toxicity of advanced materials presents several challenges:
- Complexity: The diverse nature of these materials requires tailored toxicological assessments. - Lack of standardized methods: There are limited standardized protocols for evaluating the safety of advanced materials. - Long-term effects: Understanding the chronic effects and long-term safety of these materials remains difficult due to the relatively recent introduction of many advanced materials.
