Effects data formats¶
Effects are primary entities of the data model. Health effects are defined as (critical) changes relative to a treatment or exposure.
Effects¶
Effects are uniquely identified by a code (idEffect). Optionally, a name and description can be added. Health effects are commonly distinguished in two types, acute and chronic. Further properties may be specified, e.g. in relation to decision schemes such as the use of thresholds of toxicological concern (TTCs).
