What Factors Can Influence Toxic Effects During Development?
Several factors can modulate the toxic effects during development:
Dose: The severity of effects is often dose-dependent, meaning higher exposures can result in more severe outcomes. Genetic susceptibility: Genetic factors can influence how an organism responds to toxic substances. Timing of exposure: Certain stages of development are more sensitive to specific toxins. Maternal health and nutrition: These can affect the susceptibility of the fetus to toxicants.
