Several factors can influence mixture effects, including:
Concentration and Dose: The relative concentrations and doses of chemicals in a mixture can significantly impact the resulting toxicological effects. Chemical Properties: The physical and chemical properties of the substances involved, such as solubility and stability, can affect how they interact. Biological Context: The biological system being exposed, including species, age, and health status, can influence how mixtures are metabolized and their effects. Exposure Duration: The length of exposure can also determine the nature and extent of the mixture effects.
