The National Library of Medicine (NLM), on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, is the world's largest medical library. The Library collects materials and provides information and research services in all areas of biomedicine and health care.
Concentration in the exposure medium at each measured time interval multiplied by that time interval and divided by the total time of observation.
Note: For occupational exposure a working shift of eight hours is commonly used as the averaging time.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Concentration of a substance in the critical organ at which a specified percentage of the exposed population has reached the individual critical organ concentration.
Note: The percentage is indicated by PCC-10 for 10%, PCC-50 for 50% etc. (similar to the use of the term LD50).
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Concentration that is expected to cause no adverse effect to any naturally occurring population in an environment at risk from exposure to a given substance.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Concept in law and medicine which states that before one is subjected to a risk, especially a risk of bodily harm, one is entitled to be fully informed well in advance of the nature of that risk in order to make an informed decision about whether to accept it or not.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Condition in which the temperature of a human being or mammal is above normal.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Condition of lacking the power to resist a particular disease or infection; thus in susceptible people ‘normal expected’ results occur but with a lower exposure (or dose) than in the rest of the population.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Condition of measurement in a set of conditions including different locations, operators, and measuring systems.
Note 1: The different measuring systems may use different measurement procedures.
Note 2: A specification should give the conditions changed and unchanged, to the extent practical.

Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Condition of measurement in a set of conditions including the same measurement procedure, same operator, same measuring system, same operating conditions and same location, and replicated measurements over a short period of time.
