Several factors influence diffusion in toxicology:
Concentration Gradient: A higher difference in concentration between two areas increases the diffusion rate. Temperature: Higher temperatures increase molecular motion, enhancing diffusion. Membrane Permeability: The permeability of the cell membrane affects how easily substances can diffuse through it. Molecular Size: Smaller molecules tend to diffuse faster than larger ones. Solubility: Lipid-soluble substances diffuse more readily through cell membranes compared to water-soluble substances.
