What Factors Influence Dose-Response Relationships?
Several factors can influence the nature of the dose-response relationship: 1. Biological Variability: Differences in age, sex, genetics, and health status can affect response. 2. Exposure Duration: Acute versus chronic exposure can yield different responses. 3. Route of Exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, dermal contact, etc., can influence the dose-response relationship. 4. Synergistic Effects: Interaction with other chemicals or risk factors can modify the response.
