What Does CPF Stand For?
CPF stands for Carcinogenic Potency Factor
Carcinogenic Potency Factor (CPF) is a quantitative measure used to assess the potential of a chemical substance to cause cancer, expressed as the ratio of the dose required to produce a specific cancer risk in humans. This factor aids researchers and regulatory agencies in evaluating and comparing the carcinogenic risks of various substances, contributing to informed public health decisions and safety regulations. The CPF is integral to risk assessment processes and helps prioritize substances for further study or regulatory action.
