Advances in molecular biology, biotechnology, and other fields are paving the way for major improvements in how scientists evaluate the health risks posed by potentially toxic chemicals found at low levels in the environment. These advances would make toxicity testing quicker, less expensive, and more directly relevant to human exposures. This National Research Council report creates a far-reaching vision for the future of toxicity testing.
分子生物学、生物技术及其他领域的进展，正为科学家评估环境中低含量潜在有毒化学物质所带来的健康风险的方式取得重大改进铺平道路。这些进展将使毒性测试更快、成本更低，且与人类接触情况更直接相关。这份美国国家研究委员会的报告为毒性测试的未来勾勒了一个影响深远的愿景。
