Study on the variation rules of the joint effects for multicomponent mixtures containing cyanogenic toxicants and aldehydes based on the transition state theory

- The fishing hypothesis was proposed based on the transition state theory.
- The hypothesis was used to reveal variation rules of joint effects of mixtures.
- Joint effects of multicomponent mixtures are among those of binary mixtures.
- Answer to the question why joint effect of binary equitoxic mixtures is the strongest.
- Joint effects of multicomponent mixtures can be predicted using the hypothesis
