What Factors Influence the Severity of Toxicological Injuries?
The severity of toxicological injuries depends on several factors, including the dose of the toxicant, the route of exposure (e.g., inhalation, ingestion, dermal), and the duration of exposure. Individual factors such as age, genetic predisposition, and pre-existing health conditions can also influence the outcome. Additionally, the rate of metabolism and excretion of the toxicant plays a critical role in determining the extent of injury.
