Impact/Purpose:
to report research results on bioavailability
Description:
Before a chemical can elicit toxicity, the animal must accumulate a dose at a target tissue of sufficient magnitude to produce a response. Bioavailability refers to the degree to which this accumulation occurs relative to the amount of chemical present in the environment, and is a function of the physio-chemical properties of the chemical, the physiology of the animal, and the nature of the environment in which the animal resides.
