Cumulative Risk Estimation for Chemical Mixtures
نویسنده
چکیده مقاله:
In reality, humans are always exposed to a combination of toxic substances and seldom to a single agent. Simultaneous exposure to a multitude of chemicals could result in unexpected consequences. The combined risk may lead to greater or less than a simple summation of the effects induced by chemicals given individually. Here, a method is proposed for estimating the cumulative risk which is the risk associated with exposure to more than one chemical through different routes. The method is based on using the data to determine a suitable power transformation of the dose of each component of the mixture and fitting a dose­response model to the mixture under dose­addition. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the constancy of the relative potency between two chemicals in terms of the slopes of their corresponding dose­response models are derived and it is shown how the relative potency may be estimated directly from the joint dose­response model of the mixture. An example using a mixture of four chemicals is used for illustration.

Intravenous administration of the anticancer drug, cis-dichlorodimmineplatinum (CDDP) leads to tumour regression in 50% of patients with advanced ovarian cancer (Gershenson et al, 1981; Adams et al, 1984). The number of treatment failures, coupled with the drug-induced host toxicities in this condition, have prompted studies on the human tumour stem cell assay (Salmon & Von Hoff; 1982) in which...

Environmental risk assessment of chemical mixtures is challenging because of the multitude of possible combinations that may occur. Aquatic risk from chemical mixtures in an agricultural landscape was evaluated prospectively in 2 exposure scenario case studies: at field scale for a program of 13 plant-protection products applied annually for 20 yr and at a watershed scale for a mixed land-use s...
