The exposure of organisms to toxic agents in the environment may result in adverse effects if exposure concentration and time exceed the threshold. The principal goal of Toxicologists is to find the relationship between toxic exposure and degree of effect. However, Environmental Toxicologists use the concentration of the toxicant in the exposure medium as a substitute for the dose. The chemical bioavailability is influenced bybiotic (Living things) factors and abiotic (Non Living things) factors (Write and Welbourn, 2009).
The biotic factors that affect toxicity of a pollutant are
- Taxonomic group and
- Age/Body size
The abiotic factors that affect the toxicity of a pollutant are:
- Temperature
- pH and alkalinity
- Salinity
- Hardness
- Chemical Mixtures
- Dissolved organic Carbon (DOC)
