Challenge
 Urban Warfare Environment
► Too many chemicals
► Not enough time
► What chemicals can we not worry about?

Answer
 Risk Screening
► Is there a chemical level below which we don’t need
to worry about a chemical?
► Ultimately, we need a Point of Departure
• Margin of Exposure and Hazard Index approaches

Point of Departure
 The point on a dose-response curve where the
exposed population begins to show an adverse
response
 No effect levels, No Adverse Effect Levels,
Lowest Observed Adverse Effect Levels / 10,
Benchmark Dose

How Can We Avoid Needing a
Benchmark Response??
 Interpolate curve data
► Spline-based
metaregression
 Menger Curvature
► Measures the curvature
of a curve
► We identify the point of
the maximal Menger
Curvature in the
interpolated curve
► This point is the POD
