What Role Do Chronic Toxicity Tests Play in Regulatory Toxicology?
Chronic toxicity tests are integral to regulatory toxicology as they provide essential data for risk assessment. Regulatory agencies, such as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), rely on these tests to make informed decisions regarding the approval, restriction, or banning of substances. The data from these studies also contribute to developing public health policies and safety regulations.
