QUE SIGNIFIE TOXIC EN ANGLAIS

Toxicité

Toxicity

La toxicité est la mesure dans laquelle une substance peut endommager un organisme. La toxicité peut se référer à l'effet sur un organisme entier, comme un animal, une bactérie ou une plante, ainsi que l'effet sur une sous-structure de l'organisme, comme une cellule ou un organe comme le foie. Par extension, le mot peut être métaphoriquement utilisé pour décrire les effets toxiques sur des groupes plus grands et plus complexes, comme l'unité familiale ou la société en général. Un concept central de toxicologie est que les effets dépendent de la dose; Même l'eau peut entraîner une intoxication à l'eau lorsqu'elle est prise dans une dose trop élevée, alors que même pour une substance très toxique comme le venin de serpent, il existe une dose en dessous de laquelle il n'y a pas d'effet toxique détectable. La toxicité est spécifique à l'espèce, ce qui rend l'analyse des espèces multiples problématique. Les nouveaux paradigmes et métriques évoluent pour contourner les essais sur les animaux, tout en maintenant la notion de paramètres de toxicité.

Toxicity is the degree to which a substance can damage an organism. Toxicity can refer to the effect on a whole organism, such as an animal, bacterium, or plant, as well as the effect on a substructure of the organism, such as a cell or an organ such as the liver. By extension, the word may be metaphorically used to describe toxic effects on larger and more complex groups, such as the family unit or society at large. A central concept of toxicology is that effects are dose-dependent; even water can lead to water intoxication when taken in too high a dose, whereas for even a very toxic substance such as snake venom there is a dose below which there is no detectable toxic effect. Toxicity is species-specific, making cross-species analysis problematic. Newer paradigms and metrics are evolving to bypass animal testing, while maintaining the concept of toxicity endpoints.
