Division II.6.6.1.5 Substances with non-threshold effects

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

For substances that may induce non-threshold effects, such as genotoxic carcinogens, derivation of a NO(A)EL or BMDL is not possible due to the uncertainty in establishing a threshold for these effects. For such substances an ADI cannot be derived.
