Simulating Exposure-Related Health Effects: Basic Idease exposition in this chapter is motivated by an observation made by toxicologist Julie Goodman of Gradient, who coauthored the article on which this chapter is based (Cox Jr et al. 2020): most of the key ideas of the dynamic simulation approach can be explained through relatively simple diagrams, wi

Case Study: Health Risks from Asbestos Exposuresssessment assumptions imply that the answer is yes: there is no safe exposure level. This chapter draws on recent scientific progress in inflammation biology, especially elucidation of the activation thresholds for NLRP3 inflammasomes and resulting chronic inflammation as discussed in Chaps. . and .

Why Not Replace Quantitative Risk Assessment Models with Regression Models?tanding causal exposure concentration-response (C-R) relationships well enough to predict how changes in exposure would affect health risks—a task that typically requires causal insights that regression modeling alone cannot deliver (Pearl 2009).
