Sustainable development in toxicology is governed by several key principles:
Risk Assessment: Evaluating the potential hazards and exposure levels of chemical substances to determine their overall risk. Green Chemistry: Designing chemicals and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. Pollution Prevention: Implementing practices that reduce or eliminate the release of harmful chemicals into the environment. Life-Cycle Analysis: Assessing the environmental impact of a product or process from its beginning to its end of life. Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to laws and regulations that govern the use and disposal of chemicals.
