Epidemiologists use various methods to study the impact of chemical toxins:
Descriptive Studies: These studies describe the distribution of toxin-related diseases in populations. Analytical Studies: These include cohort and case-control studies that investigate the association between exposure to toxins and health outcomes. Exposure Assessment: This involves measuring or estimating the levels of toxins individuals are exposed to. Risk Assessment: This process evaluates the probability of adverse health effects resulting from exposure to chemical toxins.
