Declining or Waning
- Traditional Chemical Toxicology:
Research centered around classical chemical toxicology is becoming less prominent as newer methodologies and interdisciplinary approaches gain traction, shifting the focus towards mechanistic and systemic studies. - Animal Testing Models:
While animal testing remains a critical aspect of toxicology, there is a noticeable decline in studies relying solely on animal models, with a growing emphasis on alternative methods and in vitro assessments. - Single-Agent Toxicity Studies:
Investigations focusing on the toxicity of single compounds are waning as research increasingly considers the effects of mixtures and cumulative exposures, reflecting real-world scenarios. - Longitudinal Studies in Traditional Settings:
Long-term studies in conventional laboratory settings are decreasing in favor of studies that incorporate more complex, real-world environments and conditions.
