The development and application of integrated risk assessment frameworks that combine data from various sources, including epidemiological studies and mechanistic insights, are becoming increasingly prominent, signaling a shift towards holistic approaches in toxicology.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Toxicology Studies Without Modern Techniques:
There is a noticeable decrease in the publication of studies relying solely on traditional toxicology methods without integrating modern techniques such as omics approaches or advanced imaging, indicating a shift towards more innovative methodologies. - Limited Focus on Non-Respiratory Health Effects:
Research specifically targeting non-respiratory health impacts of particulate matter exposure, such as gastrointestinal or skin effects, has become less frequent, suggesting a narrowing of focus towards pulmonary and systemic effects. - Studies Concentrating Solely on In Vitro Models:
The publication of studies that exclusively utilize in vitro models without corroborating in vivo findings has diminished, reflecting a preference for comprehensive studies that bridge laboratory results with real-world implications.
