National Toxicology Program

The National Toxicology Program (NTP) is a U.S. government initiative that assesses the potential health effects of chemicals and other substances in our environment. It conducts research to understand how these substances affect human health and the ecosystem. The NTP's findings help inform regulations and safety guidelines to protect public health, ensuring that harmful chemicals are identified and managed appropriately. By providing critical information on toxins, the NTP plays a vital role in safeguarding communities from hazardous exposures.
