How Does Temperature Affect Toxicity?

Temperature is a key environmental parameter that can significantly alter the toxic effects of a substance. Higher temperatures can increase the rate of chemical reactions, potentially increasing the formation of toxic metabolites. Conversely, lower temperatures might reduce the metabolic rate of organisms, thereby reducing the rate at which toxic substances are processed. This can lead to prolonged exposure and increased toxicity.
