Allometric scaling is a scientific method used to predict how biological processes change with body size across different species.
It is commonly applied in toxicology and risk assessment to extrapolate data from animal studies to humans or other species. By using mathematical relationships between body size, metabolism, and physiological functions, allometric scaling helps estimate appropriate dose levels and exposure responses.
Under the KKDIK Regulation, allometric scaling may be used to support hazard and risk assessments when evaluating the safety of chemical substances across different species.
