What is the Role of Education in Promoting Autonomy?
Education is a critical tool for promoting autonomy in toxicology. By improving public understanding of toxicological risks and safety measures, education empowers individuals to make informed choices. This can be achieved through public health campaigns, educational programs, and accessible resources that help people understand the implications of chemical exposure. Education also plays a role in reducing misinformation, which can skew perceptions of risk and undermine autonomous decision-making.
