Risk assessment

the assumption that cancer risk rises in direct proportion to dose down to zero, with no safe threshold, traced here through its history in risk assessment.

In risk assessment, linear no-threshold model refers to the assumption that cancer risk rises in direct proportion to dose down to zero, with no safe threshold, traced here through its history in risk assessment. This meaning comes from Calabrese (2009) in Archives of Toxicology.[1]
