How Do Toxicologists Use Toxic Thresholds in Risk Assessment?
Toxicologists use toxic thresholds as part of the risk assessment process to evaluate the potential health risks posed by chemical exposures. This process typically involves hazard identification, dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk characterization. By comparing estimated exposure levels to established toxic thresholds, toxicologists can determine whether a particular exposure poses a significant risk to human health and recommend appropriate management strategies.
