Abstract | This paper describes the use of an experimental airborne infectious disease models capable of predicting subtle changes in host defenses at concentrations below which there are any other overt toxicological effects. Such sensitivity is possible because the model measures not just a single 'health' parameter, but instead is capable of reflecting the total responses caused by the test chemical. |
