Your journal entry must be at least 200 words in length. No references or citations are necessary.
5.There are numerous models for assessing toxicity. Each model has pros and cons. The most common model is the animal model; however, advances in technology are moving research toward utilizing in vitro testing, computer simulations, or other methods to analyze and predict toxic effects. Reflect on how toxicity has been evaluated in the past and speculate on the most promising toxicity assessment methods for the future.
