Reference no: EM131111714

Please answer the following questions:

1. Pick a toxic effect that interests you, such as reproductive toxicity, endocrine disruption, or another effect. Look up the methods toxicologists use to test for this outcome, and describe these methods.

2. Compare and contrast the information that can be gleaned from a study of a particular chemical in animals and in isolated cells. Why do you think scientists continue to rely on animal studies when evaluating the adverse effects of a chemical?

3. We rely on both human evidence (from epidemiology) and animal evidence (from toxicology) to clarify the health effects of toxic exposures. Each provides valuable information, and each has both advantages and disadvantages.

Please compare and contrast the two kinds of evidence and explain their relative merits.
