What Role Does Toxicology Play in Nuisance Pest Management?
Toxicology contributes to nuisance pest management by assessing the safety and efficacy of control measures. It helps identify the potential health impacts of exposure to pests and the substances used to control them. Toxicologists conduct risk assessments to ensure that the benefits of pest control outweigh the risks. This field also contributes to developing safer alternatives, such as biopesticides and environmentally-friendly pest control technologies.
