What Are the Challenges in Toxicological Epidemiology?
Toxicological epidemiology faces several challenges, including:
Exposure Assessment: Accurately measuring and estimating exposures to toxic substances in diverse populations. Confounding Factors: Differentiating the effects of toxicants from other variables that may influence health outcomes. Low-Dose Exposures: Understanding the health effects of chronic, low-level exposures to toxins. Data Limitations: Dealing with incomplete or inconsistent data on exposures and health outcomes.
