- Title
A clash of old and new scientific concepts in toxicity, with important implications for public health.
- Authors
Myers, John Peterson; Zoeller, R Thomas; vom Saal, Frederick S
- Abstract
A core assumption of current toxicologic procedures used to establish health standards for chemical exposures is that testing the safety of chemicals at high doses can be used to predict the effects of low-dose exposures, such as those common in the general population. This assumption is based on the precept that "the dose makes the poison": higher doses will cause greater effects.
