What are the Key Concepts in Environmental Toxicology?
Some of the key concepts in environmental toxicology include:
Bioaccumulation: The process by which toxic substances accumulate in an organism over time. Biomagnification: The increasing concentration of toxic substances in the tissues of organisms at each successive level in a food chain. Toxicokinetics: The study of how a substance enters, moves through, and exits an organism. Toxicodynamics: The study of the effects of toxic substances on an organism, including the mechanisms of action. Dose-response relationship: The correlation between the dose of a substance and the extent of the toxic effect it produces.
