It is often useful to make a distinction between a "dose-effect" relationship, i. e. the graded response after exposure to varying doses of a toxicant, and a "dose-response" relationship, i. e. the incidence at which a "quantal" response occurs in a population exposed to varying doses of the toxicant. 2, record 1, English, - dose%2Dresponse
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The dose-response relationship is the relationship between the dose and the percentage of individuals showing a specific effect. With increasing dose a greater number of individuals in the exposed population will usually be affected. 3, record 1, English, - dose%2Dresponse

Si la relation dose-effet correspond à la «relation entre la quantité de produit chimique absorbée et l'intensité d'un effet biologique de nature donnée chez un individu», la relation dose-réponse, correspond pour sa part à la «relation entre la quantité de produit chimique absorbée et la proportion d'individus d'un groupe présentant un effet de nature et d'intensité données». 2, record 1, French, - dose%2Dr%C3%A9ponse

La relación dosis-respuesta es un concepto esencial en toxicología. Correlaciona las exposiciones con cambios en las funciones corporales o en la salud. En general, cuanto mayor es la dosis, más severa es la respuesta. La relación dosis-respuesta se basa en datos observados de estudios experimentales en animales, clínicos humanos o celulares. 1, record 1, Spanish, - dosis%2Drespuesta

The dose-effect relationship is the relationship between dose and effect on the individual level. An increase in dose may increase the intensity of an effect, or a more severe effect may result. A dose-effect curve may be obtained at the level of the whole organism, the cell or the target molecule. Some toxic effects, such as death or cancer, are not graded but are "all or none" effects. 3, record 2, English, - dose%2Deffect

In addition to chimney sweeps and coal tar workers, scrotal cancer has been observed in workers exposed to mineral oils in the processing of cotton(cotton mule spinners).... Hoffman concluded that the incidence of scrotal cancer in cotton mule spinners was due to a combination of exposure to PAHs [polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons] present in the lubrication oils and chronic chemical and mechanical irritation from the trousers. 4, record 3, English, - mule%20spinners%26rsquo%3B%20cancer
