Document Summary
Absorbed dose refers to the amount of toxicant that passes through the human envelope, entering the body. Microenvironments are where the exposure can occur: stationary. Comes from bioassays the measurement of the concentration or potency of a substance by its effect on living cells or tissues. Cancer latency is the period between the exposure that initiates a malignant rumor and the recognition of cancer. Vitro studies are studies conducted in cells or microorganisms. Vivo studies are studies conducted in animals. Noael is the highest non-zero dose at which no effect was observed in a study. Loael is the lowest dose at which a toxic effect was observed in a study. Reproductive toxicity is the occurrence of an adverse effect on the reproductive system or the reproductive capacity of an organism. Developmental toxicity is the occurrence of an adverse effect on the developing organism: measuring/modelling of dose: Environmental monitoring is the measurement of the concentrations studied.
