What Does Log P Tell Us About a Chemical's Behavior?
A compound with a high log P value (usually greater than 3) is considered lipophilic and may have higher bioaccumulation potential. These compounds can persist in the environment and within organisms, leading to potential long-term toxic effects. Conversely, compounds with low log P values are more hydrophilic and may be excreted more rapidly, reducing the likelihood of bioaccumulation.
