Research and Development
Toxicology personnel are involved in the research and development of new products and substances. They conduct studies to determine the toxicity and safety of these substances, providing essential data for product development and regulatory approval.
Risk Assessment
One of the critical functions of toxicologists is to assess the risk associated with exposure to various toxic substances. This involves evaluating the dose-response relationship, exposure levels, and potential health outcomes to determine safe levels of exposure.
Regulatory Compliance
Ensuring that products and processes comply with local, national, and international regulations is a significant responsibility. Regulatory affairs specialists play a key role in this, working to ensure that all necessary documentation and approvals are in place.
Public Health Protection
By identifying potential hazards and developing strategies to mitigate risks, toxicology personnel contribute to protecting public health. This includes monitoring environmental toxins, investigating outbreaks of illness, and advising on the safe use of chemicals.
