Graham.et.al.75.etu.df: Ethylene Thiourea Dose-Response Data
Description
These data are the results of an experiment in which different groups of rats were
exposed to different concentration levels of ethylene thiourea (ETU), which is a
decomposition product of a certain class of fungicides that can be found in treated
foods (Graham et al., 1975; Rodricks, 1992, p.133). In this experiment, the outcome of
concern was the number of rats that developed thyroid tumors.Usage
