Description:
We would like to comment on the paper by Crump et al. (2008), ‘Sensitivity analysis of biologically motivated model for formaldehyde-induced respiratory cancer in humans’. We are authors of the formaldehyde cancer risk assessment described in Conolly et al. (2003, 2004) that is the subject of the Crump et al. paper. The focus of our comments is not on cancer risks per se associated with exposure to formaldehyde but, rather, on technical issues that arise in development of biologically motivated computational models (BMM) such as that described by Conolly et al. (2003, 2004). Indeed, our comments are for the most part generically relevant to the development of these kinds of models.
