Several factors can influence teratogenicity, which is the ability of a substance to cause birth defects. These factors include the timing of exposure during pregnancy, with the embryo being most vulnerable during the organogenesis stage. The dose and duration of exposure also play a significant role, with higher doses and longer exposure periods increasing the risk of birth defects. Additionally, genetic susceptibility and maternal factors such as age, nutrition, and overall health can impact the likelihood of teratogenic effects.
