How Can Parents and Pediatricians Use Information from the Ames Test?
Parents and pediatricians can use information from the Ames Test to make informed decisions about the products and environments they expose children to. For instance, if a household product is found to contain a mutagenic compound, pediatricians can advise parents to avoid its use. Similarly, regulatory agencies can use data from such tests to limit or ban the use of harmful chemicals in consumer products, thereby protecting children's health.
