Toxicological data is fundamental to the REACH process. It provides the scientific basis for understanding the potential health effects of substances. This data comes from various types of studies, including in vitro, in vivo, and epidemiological studies. The data helps in:
- Risk Assessment: Determining the level of risk posed by a substance. - Classification and Labeling: Ensuring that substances are properly classified and labeled according to their hazards. - Exposure Scenarios: Developing scenarios to manage and minimize exposure risks during the use of substances.
