How Do Environmental Factors Interact with Biological Makeup?
Environmental factors such as diet, lifestyle, and concurrent exposure to other chemicals can significantly influence an individual's response to toxicants. For example, a diet high in antioxidants might mitigate oxidative stress caused by certain toxic chemicals. Similarly, exposure to one chemical might alter the metabolism of another, a phenomenon known as chemical interaction. These factors must be considered when assessing the overall risk of exposure to toxic substances.
