4. Expression of toxic hazard
DANGER = static notion of potentiality
Intrinsic property of a chemical substance, set of physical and toxicological characteristics presenting a potential hazard.
RISK = dynamic notion of contingency
All the circumstances that allow the expression of a potential danger.
For some substances identified as endocrine disruptors and/or genotoxic, the dose/intensity relationship is not directly applicable. A single exposure to a low dose may be enough to trigger deleterious biological effects.
