What is the Impact of Dose-Response Relationships?
Understanding dose-response relationships is crucial in toxicology, yet these relationships can be nonlinear and complex. For some chemicals, even small changes in dose may lead to disproportionately large changes in response. This nonlinear relationship complicates the establishment of safe exposure levels. Furthermore, some chemicals may have thresholds below which they do not produce observable effects, while others may exhibit cumulative or synergistic effects.
