Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Term used by the USEPA to describe the expected dose resulting from human exposure to a substance at the level at which it is regulated in the environment.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Terms referring to a reaction in which one direction of bond making or breaking occurs preferentially over all other possible directions.
Note: Reactions are termed completely (100%) regioselective if the discrimination is complete, or partially (x%), if the product of reaction at one site predominates over the product of reaction at other sites.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
That part of the total error (the estimate from a sample minus the population value) associated with using only a fraction of the population and extrapolating to the whole, as distinct from analytical or test error.
Note: Sampling error arises from a lack of homogeneity in the parent population.
