Chemical complexes in toxicology refer to compounds formed when two or more molecules, ions, or atoms bond together. These complexes can influence the toxicity of substances by altering their solubility, stability, or reactivity. For example, heavy metals like mercury and lead can form complexes with organic molecules, affecting their bioavailability and toxicity. The study of these complexes helps toxicologists understand how chemical interactions impact the behavior of toxicants in biological systems.
