Hazard characterisations¶
Hazard characterisations are benchmark doses for active substances and for the chosen effect at the chosen target level (external or internal) of the hazard assessment. Hazard characterisations are based on points of departure, such as BMDs from dose-reponse models or externally specified points of departure (MDSs, NOAELs or LOAELs). The computation may involve inter-species conversion, intra-species factors and the use of kinetic models or absorption factors to convert external doses to internal doses.
