ABSTRACT
Both the general public and regulators have become increasingly concerned about the possible threat of chemical substances in our environment, the effectiveness of chemical safety assessment, and the number of substances to be tested. More than 50 million chemicals are currently registered in the Chemical Abstract System. However, different industrial sectors including pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemistry areas are constantly generating new chemical entities. To assess the safety of all these available chemicals on the market, an accurate, affordable risk evaluation is required.
