ToxCast

ToxCast is a scientific program by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that tests thousands of chemicals to assess their potential health risks. Using high-tech laboratory methods and cell-based assays, it evaluates how these chemicals interact with biological systems, such as causing toxicity or disrupting normal functions. This helps identify harmful substances more quickly and accurately, ultimately supporting regulators and policymakers in making informed decisions to protect public health and the environment.
