What are the Routes of Exposure for Soluble Compounds?
Soluble compounds can enter the body through several routes of exposure. The most common routes are ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. For instance, compounds dissolved in water can be ingested, leading to gastrointestinal absorption. Inhaled soluble compounds, especially gases and vapors, can be absorbed through the lungs. Dermal exposure can occur when soluble compounds come into contact with the skin, though absorption through this route is typically lower compared to ingestion and inhalation.
