Chronic Toxicity Study (CTS)

A Chronic Toxicity Study (CTS) is a scientific evaluation designed to assess the long-term effects of a substance, such as a chemical or drug, on living organisms. In these studies, test subjects are exposed to the substance over an extended period, usually several weeks to months, to observe any harmful effects. Researchers monitor the subjects for changes in health, behavior, or biological functions. The goal is to determine safe exposure levels and identify potential risks to humans, animals, and the environment, ensuring that substances can be used safely in various applications.
