Excerpt
Excerpt: Cognitive Possibilities of Modeling in the Study of Environmental Chemical Pollution Experimental models are extensively used for the study of toxic effects of environmental chemicals on public health. One of the most important goals of modeling is the prediction of safe levels (maximal permissible concentration, MPC) of toxic substances for the human population. Long-term animal experiments are used as models to establish the hygienic standards and MPCs. Reliability of modeling results depends on selection of a model with consideration of its cognitive possibility limits, methods used in investigation of modeling process in animals, and conditions of extrapolation of data obtained from animals to humans.
