Assessing Chemical Mixtures and Human Health: Use of Bayesian Belief Net Analysis

摘要

BackgroundDespite humans being exposed to complex chemical mixtures, much of the available research continues to focus on a single compound or metabolite or a select subgroup of compounds inconsistent with the nature of human exposure. Uncertainty regarding how best to model chemical mixtures coupled with few analytic approaches remains a formidable challenge and served as the impetus for study.
