Several factors influence the effective dose of a substance:
Route of Exposure: The route by which a substance enters the body (e.g., oral, dermal, inhalation) can affect its absorption and toxicity. Duration and Frequency: The length of exposure and how often a person is exposed can influence the overall dose. Biological Factors: Age, sex, genetics, and health status can all affect how a substance is metabolized and the dose that is considered toxic.
