Thresholds of Genotoxic and Non-Genotoxic Carcinogens
Toxicological Research, 2018 Exposure to chemical agents is an inevitable consequence of modern society; some of these agents are hazardous to human health. The effects of chemical carcinogens are of great concern in many countries, and international organizations, such as the World Health Organization, have established guidelines for the regulation of these chemicals. Carcinogens
