What Does NOEL Stand For?
NOEL stands for No Observable Effect Level In Animal Tests
NOEL, or No Observable Effect Level in Animal Tests, refers to a specific threshold in toxicology studies where no adverse effects are detected in test subjects at a given dose of a substance. This parameter is critical for assessing the safety and risk of chemicals, drugs, and other agents, helping determine safe exposure levels for humans and the environment based on animal test results. Understanding the NOEL aids in regulatory decision-making and contributes to ensuring public health safety.
