What are the Challenges in Using Quantitative Data?
While quantitative data is invaluable in toxicology, it comes with challenges. Variability in data due to differences in species, exposure conditions, and individual susceptibilities can complicate analysis. Extrapolating data from animals to humans is another challenge, as it requires careful consideration of interspecies differences. Moreover, setting regulatory limits based on quantitative data involves uncertainties that need to be addressed through rigorous scientific methods.
