- Abstract
- Although it is generally accepted that some chemicals may have beneficial effects at low doses, incorporating the se effects into risk assessments generally ignores well-established factors related to exposure and human susceptibility. The authors argue against indiscriminate application of hormesis in assessments of chemical risks for regulatory purposes.
