Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - Casarett & Doull’s Toxicology: The Basic Science of Poisons, 9th edition AB - Regulatory toxicology is a subfield of regulatory science, which addresses the intersection of science with regulation, namely how the science of toxicology is developed, evaluated, and applied in regulatory decision-making. Toxicology is one of the most common fields of scientific knowledge utilized in regulatory science, as regulatory agencies often are required to identify and quantify the health risks of the products and activities they seek to regulate. Regulatory toxicology, which must straddle traditional scientific methodologies with the public policy world of regulation, strains to adhere to the standards of good toxicological science while also providing relevant inputs to decision-making, which often asks questions that science cannot answer completely or with any certainty. It is the tension between these two different worlds of science and policy that raise many of the most important and challenging issues in regulatory toxicology, many of which are addressed in this chapter.
