Carcinogenicity studies

Carcinogenicity studies are scientific tests designed to determine whether a substance can cause cancer. Typically conducted on animals like rodents, these studies involve exposing them to the substance over long periods to observe any development of tumors or cancerous cells. The goal is to assess potential health risks for humans consuming or coming into contact with the substance. The results help regulators and companies decide if a product is safe or if it needs restrictions or warnings to protect public health.
