non threshold substances

What are Non-Threshold Substances?

In the field of Toxicology, substances are often classified based on their dose-response relationships. Non-threshold substances are those for which no safe exposure level can be determined. This means that even the smallest amount of exposure may still pose a risk of causing adverse health effects. This concept is particularly relevant when evaluating risk assessment and regulatory guidelines for chemicals, such as certain carcinogens.
