'Hormesis' : an inappropriate extrapolation from the specific to the universal

Author
Organization
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.
