Toxicological assays are essential for several reasons:
Safety assessment: They help in determining the safety profile of new drugs, chemicals, and consumer products before they reach the market. Regulatory compliance: Regulatory agencies require toxicological data to ensure that products meet safety standards and do not pose an unacceptable risk to humans or the environment. Environmental protection: Assays can identify substances that might be harmful to ecosystems, aiding in the development of policies to protect environmental health.
