Toxicological assessments are essential in green manufacturing for evaluating the safety of chemicals used in production. These assessments involve:
1. Hazard Identification: Determining which chemicals are potentially harmful. 2. Dose-Response Assessment: Understanding the relationship between exposure levels and adverse effects. 3. Exposure Assessment: Estimating the extent of human and environmental exposure to chemicals. 4. Risk Characterization: Combining data from the above steps to assess overall risk and inform decision-making.
