Comparative Dose Response Data There are only a limited number of cases in which it has been possible, even on a crude level, to compare animal and human dose responses to the same carcinogens. The paucity of data in this area is related to the fact that in most epidemiological studies the actual doses of the toxic substance is not known with certainty and that while complete dose response curves can be obtained in animal studies, such studies are very expensive. A systematic attempt to estimate human exposures and compare human and animal dose response relationships for several known carcinogens has been made and is contained in a report by the National Academy of Sciences and National Research Council on Environmental Studies Board on Pest Control.The carcinogens for which responses were compared in the study were benzidine chlornaphazine diethylstilbestrol aflatoxin Bl vinyl chloride, and cigarette smoke.
