Threshold effects• Threshold is a level below which no effect occurs and above which effects begin to occur.– If a threshold exists, then a concentration below the threshold is safe.– If there is no threshold dose, then even the smallest amount has some negative toxic effect.• A problem in evaluating thresholds for toxic pollutants is that it is difficult to account for synergistic effects.
