The second of four steps in risk assessment, ...
The four steps of a risk assessment are: hazard identification (Can this substance damage health?); dose-response assessment (What dose causes what effect?); exposure assessment (How and how much do people contact it?); ...
Measuring toxicity requires a toxicologist to plot data in the form of a dose-response curve. This curve relates the dose of the chemical to the percentage of animals showing the response (death).
In exposure assessment, the amount of a substance given to a test subject (human or animal) to determine dose-response relationships. Since exposure to chemicals is usually inadvertent, this quantity is often called potential dose.
Administered Dose: In exposure assessment, the amount of a substance given to a test subject (human or animal) to determine dose-response relationships.
Toxicity Assessment: Characterization of the toxicological properties and effects of a chemical, with special emphasis on establishment of dose-response characteristics.
