What Challenges Does the IMO Face in Managing Toxicological Risks?
Several challenges impact the IMO's ability to manage toxicological risks effectively:
Global Harmonization: Achieving uniform implementation of IMO regulations across different countries and jurisdictions can be challenging due to varying levels of resources and expertise. Emerging Contaminants: The continuous development of new chemicals and materials poses challenges in assessing their risks and regulating their transport. Environmental Impact: Balancing the economic benefits of shipping with the need to protect the marine environment from pollution and degradation.
