The field of toxicology faces several challenges, including the need to assess the safety of an increasing number of new chemicals being introduced into the market. Advances in nanotechnology and biotechnology also pose unique challenges in understanding the potential risks associated with novel materials. Furthermore, climate change may alter the environmental distribution and effects of chemical pollutants, necessitating adaptive risk assessment strategies.
In conclusion, understanding environmental and chemical exposures within the context of toxicology is essential for safeguarding human health and the environment. By addressing these critical questions, we can better manage and mitigate the risks associated with chemical substances.
