Inter-species conversions

Inter-species conversions specify how to convert a hazard characterisation for a given species to a hazard characterisation for humans. In the simplest approach, this specifies a fixed inter-species factor. In a higher tier, this specifies a geometric mean (GM) and geometric standard deviation (GSD) for a lognormal uncertainty distribution of the interspecies factor. Inter-species conversion are specified per effect and can be general or substance-specific.
