Chemical Allergies

New test method aims to predict allergenic potency of chemicals. A method that determines not only whether a chemical or substance is allergenic, but also how strong its potential for causing hypersensitivity is has now been developed by researchers. This will aid in the establishment of so-called threshold values - or how much of a substance is safe to use in a product. Until now, the only way of achieving similar results has been through animal testing. Source 5r.
