Several factors alter an individual's risk for an environmentally related illness. A major determinant is the age of the individual. The toxicodynamic processes that determine exposure, absorption, metabolism, excretion, and tissue vulnerability are all age related. This paper discusses each of these processes and their variability with age, and illustrates these points with examples of environmentally related disease cases.
有几个因素会改变个体患环境相关疾病的风险。一个主要决定因素是个体的年龄。决定接触、吸收、代谢、排泄和组织易损性的毒理学过程都与年龄有关。本文讨论了这些过程中的每一个及其随年龄的变化,并通过环境相关疾病案例进行说明。
