Toxicology testing

Toxicology is the scientific study of adverse effects chemicals have on living organisms. Toxicology Risk Assessments provide assessments of risk based on known concentrations of hazardous chemicals and intended use.

Toxicology is the scientific study of adverse effects chemicals have on living organisms. Toxicology Risk Assessments provide assessments of risk based on known concentrations of hazardous chemicals and intended use.

An evaluation of risk is becoming an increasingly important thought process for legislators and policymakers. Risk assessments are a necessary part of certain specific standards as an essential tool for evaluating product safety. Specific projects also require the services of a qualified professional, certified by the US Toxicology Society and a board-certified toxicologist. California Proposition 65 is an excellent example of a law that mandates this service. In addition, many global toy standards require specific toxicological assessment services.
