Tolerance Petition
A formal request to establish a new tolerance or modify an existing one.

tolerance
Adaptive state characterized by diminished effects of a particular dose of a substance: the process leading to tolerance is called "adaptation".
In food toxicology, dose that an individual can tolerate without showing an effect.
tolerance An organism's capacity to endure or adapt to (usually temporarily) infavorable environmental factors.
tolerant organism An organism exhibiting a capacity to survive relatively large environmental changes.
Tolerances
Permissible residue levels for pesticides in raw agricultural produce and processed foods.
Self-tolerance: Non-reactivity of the immune system against structures it recognizes as self.
Small molecule: Low-molecular-weight chemical compound. Many pharmaceutical drugs are small molecules.
Subcutaneous: Located / placed just beneath the skin.
Dessication Tolerance - Ability to withstand desiccation and recover when water is again available.
Ecophysiology The study of physiology and tolerance limits of species that enhances understanding of their distribution in relation to abiotic conditions.
tolerance levels the concentrations of toxic elements that, if exceeded, will cause stress, lowered resistance to disease, and other environmental hazards, and will eventually result in the death of the affected organism(s).
As opposed to "tolerances" which are established for residues occurring as a direct result of proper usage, action levels are set for inadvertent residues resulting from previous legal use or accidental contamination. 2.
tolerance level, the Maximum Residue Level the enforceable limit on food pesticide levels in some countries.
Tomlinson; 5 criteria: restricted to tidal swamps; salt tolerance by salt exclusion or salt excretion; morphological specialization, (e.g.
The soybean is the food staple of choice for many vegetarians and those with lactose intolerance due to its high protein levels. Soy is useful beyond food, however, and soybean fiber can be used to make everything from baby clothes to sweaters.
A condition whose absence or excessive concentration, is incompatible with the needs or tolerance of a species or population and which may have a negative influence on their ability to thrive.

One example of cross-species genetic engineering: a salmon spliced gene into a tomato to improve tolerance for cold.
Our Final Hour: A Scientist's Warning
by Martin J. Rees ...
Comparable to a U.S. tolerance level, the Maximum Residue Level the enforceable limit on food pesticide levels in some countries. Levels are set by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, a United Nations agency.
Maximum Tolerated Dose ...
No Observeable Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL): chemical exposure dose or level producing no observeable adverse effect in long-term toxicity studies. This level is used to establish a tolerance for human consumption.
This is especially important where operations require that equipment must be made to fit different countries' systems and the tolerance or margin for error is very small.
