Computational Modeling Approaches Applied to Public and Environmental Health.

The article explores the computational modeling approaches used by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) for toxicity assessments to evaluate the impact of environmental pollutants on public health. It describes the different approaches, including Computational Systems Biology Modeling and Benchmark Dose Modeling, and their applications, such as toxicity prediction and exposure level assessment. It explains the role of the Simulation Section within the ATSDR.
