Why is it important?

The Druckrey-Küpfmüller theorem has been shown to be universally applicable and explains the dose-response characteristics of chemical carcinogens and other hazardous chemicals.

Perspectives

Application of the Druckrey-Kúpfmüller theorem in regulatory toxicology can lead to early hazard identification and simplification of product development, and a reduction of animal experimentation.
