The impact of hazardous effects is influenced by several factors, including:
Dosage: The amount of substance an organism is exposed to is critical; higher doses typically result in more severe effects. Exposure route: Chemicals can enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, dermal contact, or injection, each affecting the degree of toxicity. Duration of exposure: Prolonged exposure can lead to accumulation and increased risk of chronic effects. Individual susceptibility: Genetic makeup, age, sex, health status, and lifestyle can modify an individualâs response to a toxicant.
