What Are the Challenges in Toxicology for Circular Economy?
One of the primary challenges is the risk assessment of materials that have undergone multiple life cycles. These materials can accumulate various substances that may react unpredictably. Moreover, the lack of comprehensive databases on the toxicity of many substances complicates the assessment process. Another challenge is the potential for cross-contamination during the recycling process, which could introduce new toxic risks. Therefore, effective monitoring and management strategies are essential to safeguard human health and the environment.
