English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
  • Toxicology

For any route of administration, toxicity will vary directly with dose. A dose may be used that is low enough to produce no significant effects on a single exposure, but that in repeated administration over a period of time (chronic) can produce detectable effects.

OBS

French

Domaine(s)
  • Études et analyses environnementales
  • Toxicologie
  • Posologie
OBS

La toxicité à long terme. Le champ même d'investigation de l'écotoxicologie concerne plus particulièrement les effets toxiques produits non pas par l'absorption en une brève période de doses assez fortes, mais au contraire, de l'exposition à de très faibles concentrations, parfois même à des doses infimes, à des substances polluantes dont la répétition d'effets cumulatifs finit par provoquer des troubles beaucoup insidieux.
