Abstract

The main objective of this work is represented by the identification of the necessary tools for the estimation of the acute toxicity of a chemical based on mathematical models and chemical databases. The first part of this paper contains draft practice guidelines for preventive measures for exposure to chemical hazards and an example calculation for acute toxicity estimation for a mixture of substances with unknown toxicity of less than 10%.
