I would expect that with a scientific study, mice, rats and monkeys will
be subjected to individual chemicals, and comparisons between their body
mass and the dosage of chemical will lead to a LD (lethal dose) number.
We, however, are subjected to a blend of many chemicals, some of which
Who knows whether the idea of a threshold is valid. I think in studies of
radioactive materials on the
human body, sometimes a small exposure is worse than a larger one. And it's
