What Are the Key Strategies for Risk Minimization?
There are several strategies that toxicologists use to minimize risks:
Substitution: Replacing hazardous substances with less harmful alternatives. Exposure Control: Limiting the duration and intensity of exposure through engineering controls, protective equipment, and procedural changes. Regulatory Measures: Implementing legal limits on emissions and concentrations of toxic substances in products and environments. Public Awareness: Educating the public about safe handling and potential risks associated with certain substances.
