The last sentence says the necessary concentrations vary wildly, and no one understands why.
- dataflow 3y agoIf it does, it certainly isn't obvious to me. Which part of it concerns concentration? E.g. Is concentration a "toxicokinetic property"?
- aydyn 3y agoYes, it's that: "Toxicokinetics describes how the body handles a chemical, as a function of dose and time"
- dataflow 3y agoIf I understand that correctly, is that not a different thing? It sounds like that's a derivative (the rate of absorption/metabolism/etc.), rather than the concentration at which the chemical become harmful? Or is the concentration itself also included in the "kinetics"?
- aydyn 3y agoIts the same thing. scientists in all fields like to use big technical sounding words. Dont read too muchinto it.
