Promoting Public Health by Preventing Toxic Substance Exposure

Toxicology Testing Identifying Potential Hazards in Chemicals and Drugs Ensuring the Safety of Pharmaceuticals Before Market Release Protecting Human Health and the Environment from Harmful Substances Preventing Adverse Health Effects Through Early Detection Establishing Safe Exposure Levels for Toxic Substances Ensuring Regulatory Compliance for Toxicological Safety Supporting the Development of Safer Consumer Products Guiding the Safe Use of Industrial Chemicals and Pesticides Ensuring the Safety of Food Additives and Ingredients Monitoring Long-Term Health Effects of Environmental Exposure Supporting Risk Assessment for New Chemical Entities Protecting Occupational Health by Identifying Workplace Hazards Reducing the Risk of Accidental Poisoning Preventing Environmental Contamination Through Proper Chemical Handling Ensuring the Safety of Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Assisting in the Development of Safety Guidelines for Drug Usage Supporting Clinical Trials by Ensuring Patient Safety Identifying Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, and Reproductive Toxicants Evaluating the Chronic and Acute Toxicity of Products Acute Toxicity Testing (Single Dose) Chronic Toxicity Testing (Long-term Exposure) Subchronic Toxicity Testing (90-day Studies) In Vitro Cell Culture Assays for Toxicity Screening Genotoxicity Testing (Ames Test, Micronucleus Test) Carcinogenicity Testing (Long-Term Animal Studies) Reproductive Toxicity Testing (Developmental and Fertility Studies) Dermal Toxicity Testing (Skin Sensitization and Irritation) Inhalation Toxicity Testing (Lung Exposure)

Reduce, Refine) Ensuring Accuracy in Predicting Human Health Effects from Animal Data Managing Inter-species Differences in Toxicological Responses Difficulty in Assessing Chronic and Long-term Toxicity in Humans Development of Alternatives to Animal Testing (In Vitro and Computational Models) Understanding the Complex Interaction of Multiple Toxic Substances Dealing with the High Cost of Long-Term Toxicity Studies Managing Limited Data for Emerging Chemicals or New Drug Entities Regulatory Variation in Toxicology Testing Requirements Across Regions Identifying Low-dose Toxicity and Its Effects on Human Health Evaluating the Cumulative Impact of Multiple Exposures to Toxic Substances Understanding the Impact of Chemical Mixtures on Health and the Environment Managing Data Variability and Reproducibility Issues Addressing Public Concern Over Animal Testing and Alternatives Ensuring Toxicology Testing Meets Global Regulatory Standards for Approval Testing for Unintended Long-Term Environmental Consequences of Chemicals Handling the Challenge of Testing for Bioaccumulative Toxins Ensuring Toxicity Data is Accessible for Public Health Analysis Difficulty in Predicting Toxic Effects from Human Behavior or Environmental Factors Overcoming Scientific Gaps in Understanding the Mechanisms of Toxicity
