New Confidence: Optimizing Benchmark Dose Modeling to Improve Risk Assessment
Benchmark dose (BMD) modeling has been touted as a more accu rate method for conducting chemical risk assessments. In this issue of EHP, a team of researchers applied BMD modeling to hundreds of chemicals whose health effects are already known in an effort to optimize the approach. To calculate the highest safe oral dose of a noncarcinogenic chem ical, regulators must first estimate the point...
متن کاملReview of Noncancer Risk Assessment: Application of Benchmark Dose Methods
The overall goal of this project is to evaluate risk assessment methods traditionally used for noncancer health risks and to compare them with new approaches. Initially this report gives a brief economic rationale for the impact of prevention of noncancer health effects. This is shown using figures for years of potential life lost which reveal that noncancer health effects, such as birth defect...
متن کاملIdentification of a critical dose level for risk assessment: developments in benchmark dose analysis of continuous endpoints.
The benchmark dose (BMD) method has been recommended to replace the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) approach in health risk assessment of chemical substances. In the present article, developments in BMD analysis from continuous experimental data are proposed. The suggested approach defines the BMD as the dose at which the slope of the S-shaped dose-response relationship changes the mos...
متن کاملInformation Theoretic Model Selection for Pattern Analysis
Exploratory data analysis requires (i) to define a set of patterns hypothesized to exist in the data, (ii) to specify a suitable quantification principle or cost function to rank these patterns and (iii) to validate the inferred patterns. For data clustering, the patterns are object partitionings into k groups; for PCA or truncated SVD, the patterns are orthogonal transformations with projectio...
متن کاملEnvironmental Assessment and Risk Analysis Element
The goal of air pollution reduction strategies in NJ is not merely to achieve regulatory compliance, but also to protect the public health of its citizens. It is therefore important to evaluate progress in ozone reduction by examining the extent to which health effects associated with ozone are being reduced. Previous studies have established an association between atmospheric ozone concentrati...
