In toxicology, the margin of exposure (or MOE) of a substance is the ratio of its no-observed-adverse-effect level to its theoretical, predicted, or estimated dose or concentration of human intake.[1] It is used in risk assessment to determine the dangerousness of substances that are both genotoxic and carcinogenic.[2] This approach is preferred by both the World Health Organization and the European Food Safety Authority for the evaluation of the risk of carcinogens.[3]
