Description: A multivariate dynamic Markov model is formulated to describe the possible effect of a      generic chemical toxin on a generic cell population in an organ. Asymptotic methods (large cell      population) are used to show that numbers and toxin may be jointly Gaussian/normally      distributed; the joint stochastic process is approximately Ornstein-Uhlenbeck. Application to      dose-response, and hence risk analysis, is briefly discussed. Biological cells, Toxic chemicals.
