- injections
- Gastrointestinal tract (oral)
-
Exposure assessment: duration and frequency
Acute: <24 hours, single dose
subacute: 1 month or less
subchronic: 1-3 months
chronic: >3
effect varies with dose & exposure regimen -
Calculate if actual exposure is safe: (margin of safety)
Margin of safety
exception: initiating genotoxic carcinogens: only risk assessment (no safety, priority setting) -

Passive transport is influenced by:
- Water solubility:
Hydrophobic chemicals --> passive diffusion
Hydrophilic chemicals --> passive filtration (aqua pores)
- Ionization:
Low pH (< pka) --> chemical in non-ionized form --> chemical is taken up in stomach
High pH (> pka) --> chemical in ionized form --> chemical is taken up in small intestine
- Blood flow: if molecules are not taken away by bloodflow
Concentration of the chemical = concentration blood -
Uneven distribution of a chemical
Toxicity in a specific tissue: water soluble chemical + albumin --> stay in fat tissue -
Blood brain barrier
Active transport needed for the uptake of molecules in the brain:
- Thight junctions
- No fenestrea
- Low protein content
- ATP is needed -
