An RSI Understanding Risk method
Toxicological profiling
Toxicological profiling is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better understand risk.
Broadly
Toxicological profiling characterizes the nature, potency, and mechanism of adverse effects associated with a substance. It integrates in vivo, in vitro, and in silico data to support hazard identification and dose-response assessment. The profile informs risk decisions across consumer safety, workplace, and environmental contexts.
More specifically
RSI compiles and interprets toxicological data for use in chemical registration, public health policy, and safety evaluation. Its experts apply structure-activity relationships, mechanistic data, and systematic review techniques. RSI ensures that toxicological profiles are current, transparent, and adapted to the specific decision context.
