Occupational Toxicology: Emerging Hazards, New Methods
Abstract
Occupational toxicology investigates adverse health effects from workplace exposures to chemical, physical, and biological
agents. Keyareasofresearchincludenanomaterialtoxicology, endocrinedisruptors, and chronic low-level exposures. Advancements
in analytical and computational methods are improving hazard assessment. Challenges exist in nanomaterial exposure assessment,
while endocrine disruptors require enhanced surveillance. Neurotoxic effects of solvents and respiratory risks from particulate matter
are significant concerns. Biological monitoring and dermal absorption studies are critical for specific exposures. Shift work’s health
consequences and genotoxicity of industrial chemicals are also key research topics.
