International consensus documents, of which some present the state-of-the-art information on relevant aspects of risk assessment methodology, some describe the scientific basis for health risk assessment and approaches to their application, some address the principles of assessment of toxic effects in various organs, such as the kidneys, the nervous system, and the reproductive system, and some deal with the principles for the evaluation of health effects in susceptible population groups, for example infants and young children, as well as the elderly.
Pesticide & Toxic Chemical News, Dec. 2, 1999 (ref: Potter Library infotrac.galegroup.com) Tests may overestimate toxicity of aging DDT say Cornell University scientists.
