What Factors Influence Diffusion in Toxicology?

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.
