The level of exposure can be influenced by various factors, including:
Concentration: The higher the concentration of a toxicant, the greater the potential for adverse effects. Duration and Frequency: Prolonged or repeated exposure can increase the risk of toxicity, even if the concentration is low. Route of Exposure: The route through which a toxicant enters the body (inhalation, ingestion, dermal contact) can affect the exposure level and resultant toxicity. Individual Susceptibility: Age, sex, genetics, and health status can modify an individual's susceptibility to toxic exposures.
