Measuring these substances is essential for several reasons:
1. Exposure Assessment: Quantifying the levels of substances helps determine the extent of exposure and identify potential sources of contamination.
2. Health Risk Evaluation: Understanding the concentration of toxins allows toxicologists to evaluate the potential risk to human health, considering factors like dose-response relationships.
3. Regulatory Compliance: Many industries must comply with regulatory standards that set permissible exposure limits for various substances to protect human health.
4. Environmental Monitoring: Measuring substances in environmental samples can help assess the impact of pollutants and guide remediation efforts.
