This news is based on the following article: Agathokleous E, Kitao M, Calabrese EJ. Environmental hormesis and its fundamental biological basis: rewriting the history of toxicology. Environ Res 2018 ; 165 : 274-8. doi : 10.1016/j.envres.2018.04.034

 

On the basis of accumulated experimental evidence of hormesis, whereby dose-response relations for numerous environmental stressors can be positive or negative, and of the increased knowledge of low dose effects, the authors of this article recommend including a hormetic model in health risk assessments of environmental exposures.
