National Toxicology Program (NTP)

The National Toxicology Program (NTP) is a U.S. government initiative that evaluates the effects of chemicals on human health and the environment. Established in 1978, it conducts scientific studies to determine whether substances are safe or harmful. The NTP focuses on various chemicals found in everyday products, assessing their potential to cause diseases like cancer. Its findings help inform public health policies, regulatory decisions, and safety guidelines, ultimately aiming to protect people and the environment from toxic exposures. The NTP collaborates with other agencies and researchers to ensure comprehensive assessments and transparency in its findings.
