What Does CSF Stand For?
CSF stands for Carcinogenic Slope Factor
Carcinogenic Slope Factor (CSF) is a numerical parameter used in risk assessment to estimate the potential increase in cancer risk associated with exposure to a carcinogenic substance. It quantifies the relationship between the dose of the substance and the probability of developing cancer, typically expressed in terms of risk per unit of exposure. CSFs are utilized by regulatory agencies to inform guidelines and regulations related to environmental and occupational exposure limits.
