Equivalent dose is a dose quantity H representing the stochastic health effects of low levels of ionizing radiation on the human body which represents the probability of radiation-induced cancer and genetic damage. It is derived from the physical quantity absorbed dose, but also takes into account the biological effectiveness of the radiation, which is dependent on the radiation type and energy. In the SI system of units, the unit of measure is the sievert (Sv).
A method for detecting a substance toxicity threshold based on a rat drinking water experiment
This invention discloses a method for detecting the toxicity threshold of a substance based on a rat drinking experiment. The method of this invention includes the following steps: First, a drinking preference experiment is conducted, and then the toxicity threshold is determined: the amount of substance water and pure water consumed in the drinking preference is compared to determine the time when the rat begins to significantly avoid substance water, the mass of the toxic substance in the rat's body at that time is calculated, and the toxicity threshold of the rat is calculated; (3) dose conversion from rat to human: based on the interspecies dose conversion of body surface area, the toxicity threshold of the rat is first converted into the equivalent dose for humans to obtain the acute exposure dose, and then the acute exposure dose is converted into the chronic exposure dose for humans to obtain the substance toxicity threshold. This invention can accurately determine the toxicity threshold: it achieves toxicity assessment of low-dose exposure through spontaneous recognition behavior; it is easy to operate; and it is applicable to the toxicity assessment and non-destructive threshold determination of various substances such as environmental pollutants, chemical substances, and drugs.
