What Role Does Toxicology Play in the Implementation of the Convention?
Toxicology provides the scientific underpinning needed to assess the risks associated with mercury exposure. It helps in understanding exposure pathways, determining safe exposure levels, and evaluating the effectiveness of policies and technologies aimed at reducing mercury pollution. Toxicologists contribute to the development of better monitoring techniques, risk assessments, and the identification of populations at risk, which are essential for the successful implementation of the convention.
