Environmental agencies are pivotal in the field of toxicology for several reasons:
Regulation and Enforcement: Agencies like the EPA create and enforce regulations that limit the emission and disposal of toxic substances. Research: Organizations such as the NIEHS conduct research to understand the health effects of environmental toxins. Public Awareness: Agencies run campaigns to educate the public on the risks associated with toxic substances. Standard Setting: Bodies like the WHO set international guidelines for exposure limits to various toxins.
