Toxins
The scientific understanding and evidence of the short and long term impact of toxins individually and how they interact each other is growing at an alarming rate. Also the public interest and need to understand toxins in production and use is increasing.
Key Considerations
- Toxins may be and almost certainly are produced not only during the creation processes, but also during use, re-use, re-making and end of use.
- Toxins may not be what you think they are or are considered “toxins” historically or currently. New research and implications changes our understanding of what is toxic.
- Toxins may be man made or may come about from “natural” materials or processes.
- Toxins maybe generalised or context specific. What is good in one context maybe catastrophic in another.
