Abstract:
:A multiple toxicity model for the quantal response of organisms is constructed based on an existing bivariate theory. The main assumption is that the tolerances follow a multivariate normal distribution function. However, any monotone tolerance distribution can be applied by mapping the integration region in the n-dimensional space of transforms on the n-dimensional space of normal equivalent deviates. General requirements to noninteractive bivariate tolerance distributions are discussed, and it is shown that bivariate logit and Weibull distributions, constructed according to the mapping procedure, meet these criteria. The univariate Weibull dose-response model is given a novel interpretation in terms of reactions between toxicant molecules and a hypothetical key receptor of the organism. The application of the multiple toxicity model is demonstrated using literature data for the action of gamma-benzene hexachloride and pyrethrins on flour beetles (Tribolium castaneum). Nonnormal tolerance distributions are needed when the mortality data include extreme response probabilities.
