Various methods are employed in toxicology monitoring, including:
- Analytical Techniques: Methods such as chromatography, mass spectrometry, and spectroscopy are used to detect and quantify toxic substances. - Biological Assays: These tests measure the biological response to a substance, such as enzyme activity or cell viability. - Epidemiological Studies: Observational studies that investigate the relationship between exposure to toxicants and health outcomes in human populations. - Environmental Sampling: Collecting samples from air, water, soil, and other environmental media to assess contamination levels.
