What are the unique properties of toxic substances?
The unique properties of toxic substances include dose-response relationship, toxicokinetics, and toxicodynamics. The dose-response relationship describes how the magnitude of exposure affects the extent of toxic effect. Toxicokinetics involves the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of chemicals, determining how a substance moves through the body. Toxicodynamics, on the other hand, focuses on the interaction of toxicants with cellular targets and the biological responses elicited.
