Testing our way to a safe environment?

Sammanfattning

There are about 140,000 individual synthetic chemicals in commerce worldwide1 . The relative few that have been evaluated for safety were tested by a system that is known to be both slow, expensive and insensitive to certain kinds of toxicity2 , despite a consensus on the scientific principles by which chemicals can produce toxicity through endocrine pathways3 . There are major currently ongoing efforts to update the testing system, to make it more protective of public health and to require the use of fewer animals in toxicity testing.
