How a biological organism's response to a toxic substance quantitatively shifts as its overall exposure to the substance changes (e.g., a small dose of carbon monoxide may cause drowsiness; a large dose can be fatal.)()
A relationship in which a change in the amount, intensity, or duration of an exposure is associated with either an increase or decrease in risk of a specified health outcome.
