Dose – response models to understand toxicodynamics for pollutants in ecosystems
نویسنده
چکیده
The low-dose effect and non-monotonicity hypotheses challenge key concepts in eco-toxicology and risk assessment, and also the possibility to predict the effects of a chemical at low levels of exposure from its effects at higher levels of exposure. Low-dose effects and Non-Monotonic Dose-response Curves (NMDRC) provides situations to understand impacts for toxicological risk assessment paradigm. Dose response (DR) models are helpful to understand impacts of pollutants in ecosystems. Keywords-dose; DR models; pollutants; NMDRC; ecosystem

کاربرد مدلهای دوز-پاسخ در تعیین میانه دوز مؤثر جاذب خاکستر استخوان در حذف فلوراید از محلولهای آب آشامیدنی
Introduction: In studies of the adsorption of pollutants onto different adsorbents, determining the adsorbent dose of the most important characteristics must be considered. The aim of the study was the determination and modeling of dose-response bone char fluoride removal from aqueous solutions and comparison of the adsorption isotherm models with dose-response models from the perspective of ad...

Introduction: Radiotherapy (RT) plan evaluation using dose response models has become a feasible approach in routine clinical practice. Although there are several tools for this task, they suffer from limitations including number of different dose response models and parameters. In the present study, we aimed to develop a free program for RT plan evaluation based on a variety ...
متن کاملCharacterization of Variability in Toxicokinetics and Toxicodynamics of Tetrachloroethylene Using the Collaborative Cross Mouse Population
BACKGROUND Evaluation of interindividual variability is a challenging step in risk assessment. For most environmental pollutants, including perchloroethylene (PERC), experimental data are lacking, resulting in default assumptions being used to account for variability in toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics. OBJECTIVE We quantitatively examined the relationship between PERC toxicokinetics and tox...
