This note addresses
the challenges of defining a relationship between exposure to environmental
chemicals and human disease. Topics covered include epidemiological approaches
to understanding disease causation, biostatistical methods, evaluation of human
exposure to chemicals, and their internal distribution, metabolism, reactions
with cellular components, and biological effects, and qualitative and
quantitative health risk assessment methods used in the U.S. as bases for
regulatory decision-making.
