The Role of Hormesis in Industrial Hygiene/occupational Health
Jayjock and Lewis’ study “Implication of Hormesisfor Industrial Hygiene” represents a challenge for thescientific community to consider hormesis as a possibleworking hypothesis for redefining risk assessmentstrategy for low-dose exposures in the realm of IndustrialHygiene. This invited commentary aims at examiningsome aspects of the study for which no proven andconcl...
متن کاملBELLE Article: An ethical appraisal of hormesis: toward a rational discourse on the acceptability of risks and benefits
Hormesis has been defined as a dose-response relationship in which there is a stimulatory response at low doses but an inhibiting response at high doses, resulting in a Uor inverted U-shaped dose response. Until now, regulatory agencies have been reluctant to address this new insight or adjusted their routines for regulating such substances. Should regulators change their principles of decision...
متن کاملHormesis Effects of Nano- and Micro-sized Copper Oxide
The concerns about the possible risk of manufactured nanoparticles (NPs) have been raised recently. Nano- and micro-sized copper oxide (CO and CONP) are widely used in many industries. In this regard, in-vitro studies have demonstrated that CONP is a toxic compound in different cell lines. Despite their unique properties, NPs possess unexpected toxicity profiling relative to the bulk m...
