Assignment Task: Toxicology of Permethrin and Saccharin Paper

Write a 1,400 to 1,750-word paper of the toxicology assessments of Permethrin and Saccharin and their relationship to tumor formation.

Summarize the toxicology assessment for both Permethrin and Saccharin and the resulting actions of the EPA and FDA on these commercial products.

Describe the four steps of human health risk assessment: identify hazard, dose-response modeling, exposure assessment, and risk characterization or probability. What is your estimation of the short or long term damage and exposure to humans from Permethrin and Saccharin?

Evaluate the exposure and toxicity assessments and the subsequent risk characterization from the toxicology assessment for both Permethrin and Saccharin. What, for example, were the findings of the exposure and toxicity assessments? What are the implications? Evaluate the steps used in the risk assessment, the purpose, and conclusion.

Summarize the practical implications of the risk assessment.

Evaluate the rationale of high doses until an effect is achieved. Is it always useful data? Why or why not?

Analyze the historical use of the standard risk toxicology studies. What does it tell you about chemicals and products today versus chemical and products of 20 years ago?

Does data generated on rats directly correlate to effects on humans?

Cite at least two references.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
