toxicity assessment

Toxicity assessment is the scientific process used to determine how harmful a substance might be to humans, animals, or the environment. It involves studying the substance’s effects, such as illness, injury, or other health issues, often through laboratory tests and real-world observations. The goal is to identify safe exposure levels and understand potential risks, ensuring products and chemicals are used responsibly and safely. This process helps regulators set guidelines and protects public health by preventing harmful exposures.
