Several factors influence the time course of toxicants:
Route of Exposure: The route (oral, inhalation, dermal) can significantly affect the absorption rate and subsequently the time course. Dosage: Higher doses might result in prolonged effects or altered metabolism. Individual Variability: Genetic factors, age, sex, and health status can influence how a person metabolizes and responds to a toxicant. Chemical Properties: The chemical structure and properties of the toxicant affect its solubility, stability, and interaction with biological molecules.
