a) Severe
b) Less
c) Neutral
d) Adverse
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Greater the dose, the more severe the response is i.e. greater the number of chemical-receptor complex, the more severe response.

2. In the graph, mortality rate is less to certain point because of ______

a) Carcinogens
b) Susceptibility
c) Toxins
d) Mutagens
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The toxic effects depends on dose and susceptibility of the exposed individual.

3. Lethal dose concentration according to the curve is _____

a) 10
b) 50
c) 100
d) 1000
View Answer

Answer: b

a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The exposed population will experience no deaths at low dose, few deaths as dose increases and more death at higher dose.

5. What is the first step in development of dose-response relationship curve?
a) Toxicological end point
b) End point
c) Start point
d) Intermediate point
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The first step in development of dose-response relationship curve is selecting toxicological end point which is caused by exposure to selected chemical.

6. The toxicological end point for dose-response relationship should be _________
a) Definitive
b) Vague
c) Irrational
d) Less
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The toxicological end point for dose-response relationship should be clear, definitive and directly measurable such as death.

7. Doses are expressed on a _________ basis.
a) Accuracy
b) Precision
c) Body-weight
d) End point
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Reporting on a body size basis allows extrapolation from small test animals to humans.

8. The susceptibility of an individual is a function of ________
a) Age
b) Toxin
c) Carcinogens
d) Mutagens
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The susceptibility of an individual is a function of age, diet, health, status, genetics and exposure to agents.

9. Major application of dose-response curve is to obtain ______
a) Toxin
b) Carcinogens
c) Mutagens
d) Threshold
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Major application of dose-response curve is to obtain threshold level and the relative toxicity of chemicals.

10. The highest dose that has no harmful effect on a population is known as ________
a) NOAEL
b) NOEL
c) NOAL
d) NOPA
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: NOEL is the No observed effect level, which is the highest tested dose of a substance that has reported to have no adverse effect on a population.

11. Which of the following dose is NOAEL according to the curve?
hazardous-waste-management-questions-and-answers-dose-response-relationship-q11
a) 5
b) 10
c) 15
d) 20
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The dose 15 mg is considered as no observed adverse effect level on a population. The curve peaks after 17mg, where the effect on a population is observed.

12. Which of the following dose is LOAEL according to the curve?
hazardous-waste-management-questions-and-answers-dose-response-relationship-q12
a) 5
b) 10
c) 15
d) 20
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: At dose 20mg, it is observed that the threshold dose has lowest observed adverse effect level.
