Paracelsus Was Not Entirely Correct on Toxic Exposure
Original: Paracelsus was not entirely correct – the geography of exposure
The American Council on Science and Health argues that Paracelsus's classic 'the dose makes the poison' principle is an incomplete guide to toxicity. It points to the geography of exposure: where, when and how a person encounters a substance can matter as much as the dose itself, since location and route of exposure shape real-world health risks.
Why now: The idea that dose alone determines toxicity is being challenged by evidence that exposure location and context also matter.
