Research on PFAS has surged, focusing on their persistence in the environment, health implications, and remediation strategies, reflecting heightened public and regulatory concern. - Machine Learning and Computational Toxicology:
The integration of machine learning and computational approaches in toxicology is trending, allowing for predictive modeling and risk assessment of chemical exposures. - Health Effects of Air Pollution:
Increasing attention is being paid to the health impacts of air pollution, particularly related to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular conditions, and neurodevelopmental outcomes. - Cumulative Risk Assessment:
There is a trend towards evaluating the cumulative impacts of multiple chemical exposures, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive risk assessment frameworks. - Biomonitoring Advances:
Innovations in biomonitoring technologies and methodologies are emerging, providing new insights into human exposure to toxic substances and their health effects. - Environmental Justice and Toxicology:
Research addressing the intersection of environmental justice and toxicology is on the rise, focusing on the disproportionate impact of pollution on marginalized communities.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Toxicological Studies:
There has been a noticeable decline in studies focused solely on traditional toxicological assessments, as researchers increasingly adopt integrative and interdisciplinary approaches. - Single-Chemical Exposure Studies:
Research examining the effects of single compounds is waning, with a shift towards more complex studies that consider mixtures of pollutants and their cumulative effects. - Animal Testing Models:
The reliance on traditional animal testing models is decreasing as alternative methods, such as in vitro assays and computational models, gain traction for toxicity assessment. - Historical Contaminant Studies:
Research focusing on historical contaminants, such as legacy pesticides, is becoming less prominent compared to studies on current and emerging pollutants.
