  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "The term \"stress regime\" has been used in at least three distinct ways: (1) to characterize exposure to multiple chemicals or to both chemical and nonchemical stressors (more clearly described as multiple exposure, complex exposure, or exposure to mixtures), (2) as a synonym for exposure that is intended to avoid overemphasis on chemical exposures, and (3) to describe the series of interactions of exposures and effects resulting in secondary exposures, secondary effects and, finally, ultimate effects (also known as risk cascade [Lipton et al., 1993]), or causal chain, pathway, or network (Andrewartha and Birch, 1984).",
