... They have less frequently served as the sole basis for hazard and doseresponse analyses, but recent developments offer promise through systematic approaches to identify, organize, and interpret the diverse and complex mechanistic information for application in human health risk assessments. Epidemiologic studies are generally the preferred evidence stream for assessing causal relationships during hazard identification.
