What are the Toxicological Concerns Associated with Degradation Byproducts?
The primary concern is that some degradation byproducts can exhibit increased toxicity compared to the original substance. This can occur when the byproducts have a higher affinity for biological receptors or when they can more easily penetrate cell membranes. Additionally, these byproducts may exhibit carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or endocrine disruption effects, which pose serious health risks.
