CONT

In the parlance of environmental toxicology, a health effect caused by a hazardous agent is called an end point. Cancer is a relatively discrete, identifiable end point. But endocrine-disrupting end points are myriad, often subtle, and may take two or more generations to show themselves.

CONT

The Bureau of Chemical Hazards takes the lead in OECD guidelines development and updating... Existing test guidelines were prioritized for enhancement to include endocrine endpoints for assessment.

CONT

An acute non-cancer inhalation Reference Exposure Level (REL) of 1.9 x 10 g/m is listed for carbon tetrachloride in the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association Air Toxics "Hot Spots" Program, Revised 1992 Risk Assessment Guidelines. The toxicological endpoint considered for chronic toxicity is the central nervous system. Also, a chronic REL of 2.4 g/m is listed in the CAPCOA Risk Assessment Guidelines with the liver as the toxicological endpoint.

CONT

My personal approach is to start with the end-points, which include the important attributes to be evaluated, and then trace these back to the project.
