Allometric scaling is a method used to evaluate the relationship between an organism’s body size and biological processes.
This method is used to extrapolate the results of toxicity tests, especially those conducted on animals, to humans or other species. Allometric scaling uses mathematical formulas to estimate how doses and metabolic rates vary across different body sizes or species.
This approach is important in risk assessments within the scope of KKDIK, in considering biological similarities between different species and in determining safe doses of chemicals.
