Events that lead to the exposure to the toxin/toxicant.
Chemical Classification
Chemical Structure, Mixture components
Chemical/Drug discovery: Synthetic or Natural, what are they used for? When were they produced?
Regulatory data: Are any of the chemicals currently under regulation? Which agency is responsible for regulation? What regulations have been set or are under consideration?
Chemical Exposure (How can Exposure Occur)
Concentrations that are typically used in products or released in the environment Targets: Ecological, Occupational, Environmental, Location, Systems,
List of all documented effects (primary and secondary sources including epidemiological evidence, laboratory studies, EPA safety data, FDA safety data, etc.)
Systems affected (Neruo, Immuno, Reproductive, Development, etc. Discrepancies (Conflicting information on the safety)
Current and Future Research (List what is currently unknown)
Sample Solution
Mode of Action: How does the toxin/toxicant affect biological systems? What cells and organs are targeted?
Risk Assessment: Are there any natural pathways of exposure, routes of entry, and what populations are most at risk from exposure to this toxin/toxicant? What is the current status of risk assessment efforts for this particular toxicant/exposure scenario?
