What are the key challenges in toxicological policy making?
One of the major challenges is the need for accurate and reliable data. Often, data gaps exist, especially for new or emerging chemicals. Additionally, there is the complexity of translating scientific findings into regulatory language that is both understandable and enforceable. There is also the issue of balancing economic interests with public health and environmental protection. Policymakers must navigate conflicting interests and make decisions that are informed by the best available science while considering socio-economic factors.
