Climate is a major factor in toxicology as it can influence the behavior of chemicals in the environment. Warmer temperatures can increase the volatility of certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), enhancing their distribution in the atmosphere. Seasonal changes can also affect the concentration of pollutants, such as increased pesticide use during growing seasons. Climate change can further exacerbate these effects by altering weather patterns and increasing the frequency of extreme weather events, which can lead to increased release and spread of toxic substances.
