What Role Does Dose Play in Chronic Health Effects?
In toxicology, the dose of a substance is a critical factor in determining its potential to cause chronic health effects. The relationship between dose and effect is often represented by a dose-response curve. Generally, the higher the dose and the longer the exposure, the greater the risk of adverse effects. However, some substances can have significant health impacts even at low doses due to endocrine disruption or bioaccumulation.
