Priority setting takes full advantage of existing knowledge about potential chemical exposure and toxicity and computer-aided predictions such as QSAR to determine which chemicals (or group of chemicals), and for which end points, are of greater concern in gathering additional data (typically in vivo) to better evaluate potential adverse effects on humans and wildlife.",
