RISK ASSESSMENT PRINCIPLES (风险评估原则)

Acute toxicity Allergy (type I) Systemic toxicity

- sub-chronic- chronic

Reproductive toxicology Teratogenicity Genotoxicity Carcinogenicity

Ingestion:-Food & drink

Risk = f (Hazard x Exposure)

Toxicological Hazard

Exposure

1. Hazard Identification

2. Hazard Characterisation

TRADITIONAL RISK ASSESSMENT STRATEGY (传统的风险评估策略)

NOAEL

Targeted Testing

ADI* = NOAEL ÷ 100

Exposure < ADI

Exposure > ADI

Speed of innovation (创新速度) creating novel materials e.g. nano, biotechnology

Scientific value of animal studies being challenged (动物测试的科学价值遭遇挑战)

Consumer demands to stop animal testing (消费者对于停止动物测试的要求)

Too many chemicals (太多的化学品) – not enough animals/money/time !

US NRC/NAS REPORT (2007): A FRAMEWORK FOR CHANGE (变化的框架)

“Advances in toxicogenomics, bioinformatics, systems biology and computational toxicology could transform toxicity testing from a system based on whole-animal testing to one founded primarily on in vitro methods that evaluate changes in biological processes using cells..of human origin.”

Page 12: CHEMICAL RISK ASSESSMENT & CHALLENGES FACING THE … · consumption Biological equivalence Safe history of use Overall safety evaluation – define acceptability 1. Hazard identification

NAS REPORT EMPHASIZED ….

“IN VITRO METHODS SHOULD BE THE PREFERRED WAY

TO DO TESTING” (体外实验应该作为测试的首选方法)

… a not-so-distant future where all routine toxicity testing will be conducted in human cells or cell lines in vitro by evaluating perturbations of cellular responses in a suite of toxicity pathway (毒理学通路) assays.

INDICATORS OF REGULATORY CHANGE(法律法规的变化)

OECD (2013) – Guidance on developing and assessing AOPs

US FDA’s Toxicological Principles for the Safety Assessment of Food Ingredients (“Redbook”)

- “… update will reflect current science”

European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

• Reviewed modern methodologies and test strategies (EFSA, 2014)

• Declared “alternatives to animal testing as one of the most pressing priorities” (FDE Congress, 2015)

THE CHALLENGES (挑战)

Scientists need to embrace the new paradigm shift in

toxicology (欢迎毒理学中的新转变)

Move towards a future which does not involve animal

testing (进入一个没有动物测试未来)Exposure – better quality data on food consumption (暴露

量 –质量更高的食品消费量数据)

Risk assessment needs to evolve to accommodate the new science (融入新的科学)

Need for trained scientists (受过良好培训的科学家)

Facilitate regulatory acceptance (法律法规的接受和认同)

Page 20: CHEMICAL RISK ASSESSMENT & CHALLENGES FACING THE … · consumption Biological equivalence Safe history of use Overall safety evaluation – define acceptability 1. Hazard identification

INDUSTRY

STAKEHOLDER PARTNERSHIPS (相关参与方的合作)….development and acceptance of new approaches

ACADEMIA (学术界)

GOVERNMENT /REGULATORS (政府和法律法规部门)

INDUSTRY (工业界)

CONSUMER TRUST

(消费者的信任)

o To have safe food (安全的食品)

o Embrace new science (接受新的科学) (no going back)

o Capacity building (training, 培训)- Current safety assessors (当前的安全评估人员)

- Future talent (未来的人才)

o Acceptance – regulators and consumers (法规和消费者的接受和认可)

o An appropriate forum (一个合适的平台) e.g. ILSI

Common needs/interests (共同的需求和兴趣):
