Why is the Sigmoidal Curve Important in Toxicology?
The sigmoidal curve is crucial because it helps toxicologists understand the threshold dose of a substance, which is the point at which it begins to have a noticeable effect. It also assists in identifying the ED50 (Effective Dose 50) and LD50 (Lethal Dose 50), key metrics for assessing the safety and risk of exposure to chemicals.
