Interpreting toxicology results comes with several challenges:
Inter-individual Variability: Differences in metabolism, genetics, and health status can affect how individuals respond to toxicants. Matrix Effects: The presence of interfering substances in the biological sample can complicate the analysis. Cross-reactivity: Some analytical methods may detect structurally similar compounds, leading to potential false positives. Time of Sampling: The timing of sample collection relative to exposure can influence the detectability of the toxicant.
