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.
