Biokertymistä
Biokertymistä refers to the process by which a substance, such as a toxic chemical, accumulates in an organism over time. This accumulation can occur through absorption from the environment, such as through contaminated food, water, or air, or through direct contact. Many factors influence the rate of biokertymistä, including the organism's metabolic rate, the substance's persistence and lipophilicity (fat solubility), and the exposure levels.
When a substance is absorbed faster than it can be eliminated by the organism, its concentration within
Furthermore, biokertymistä plays a crucial role in biomagnification, a process where the concentration of a substance
