BMD10 – The benchmark-dose associated with a 10% response

“BMD10” (Benchmark Dose 10) is defined as the dose level of a chemical substance that produces a 10% response in test organisms.

This dose is used primarily in toxicity assessments and provides a scientific reference for determining safe exposure limits for human health. BMD10 aims to examine the effects of a chemical at even low levels and to define more sensitive thresholds in risk assessments.
