... chemical-specific adjustment factors (CSAFs) were developed to replace default assessment factors to address uncertainties in inter- and intraspecies extrapolation in human health risk assessments. CSAFs may consider both toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic properties. These factors can be derived for a single agent or chemical, for a class of chemicals with shared chemical or toxicological properties, and for a group of chemicals that share a mode or mechanism of action or toxicokinetic characteristics. 2, record 1, English, - chemical%2Dspecific%20adjustment%20factor

Un grand avantage de l'application de facteurs d'ajustement propres aux substances chimiques par rapport à l'utilisation de facteurs d'incertitude ou d'ajustement allométrique par défaut est que cette approche intègre à la fois des données propres à l'espèce et des données propres au composé chimique. 4, record 1, French, - facteur%20d%27ajustement%20propre%20aux%20substances%20chimiques
