Quantitative Toxicology

Quantitative toxicology is the scientific study that measures how much of a substance causes a harmful or toxic effect in living organisms. It uses precise data and mathematical models to determine safe exposure levels, dose-response relationships, and potential health risks. This approach helps regulators set guidelines, inform safety assessments, and protect public health by understanding how different amounts of chemicals or drugs affect the body. Overall, it provides a scientific basis for managing and minimizing risks associated with toxic substances.
