About this document
Toxicity Testing with Model Organisms by Soumya Shee is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Model organisms such as Daphnia magna, zebrafish, and rats are utilized in toxicity testing due to their unique advantages, including sensitivity to pollutants, genetic similarity to humans, and suitability for chronic studies. Each organism has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, such as cost, ethical concerns, and limitations in assessing complex organ-level effects. These models provide valuable insights into the potential impacts of chemicals on living organisms.
