Toxic capacity can mean the toxicity of a substance, possibly in relation to a specific organism and toxic capacity can mean the capacity of an organism, organic system or ecosystem to contain a toxic substance or a selection of toxic substances (a compound) without showing signs of poisoning or dying. Toxicity (from Greek τοξικότητα - poisonousness) is a measure to the degree to which something is toxic or poisonous. ... In biology and ecology, an organism (in Greek organon = instrument) is an assembly of molecules that influence each other in such a way that they function as a more or less stable whole and have properties of life. ... In ecology, an ecosystem is a naturally occurring assemblage of organisms (plant, animal and other living organisms—also referred to as a biotic community or biocoenosis) living together with their environment (or biotope), functioning as a loose unit. ...
Toxic capacity among humans, children
Generally people with less mass have a lower toxic capacity than people with larger mass. In particular, children (who have lower mass compared to an adult) are more vulnerable to toxic effects of compounds. The compounds do no have to be poisons but could be medications as well, which is why children's dosages are almost always less than those of an adult, and the overdose danger higher for children.
Toxicology (from the Greek words toxicon and logos) is the study of the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms. ... Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are a class of chemicals that persist in the environment, are capable of long-range transport, bioaccumulate in human and animal tissue, and have significant impacts human health and the environment. ...
IDRC-supported research is turning the tide against the use of highly toxic pesticides that have increased potato yields at the expense of peoples health in the poverty-stricken highlands of Ecuador.
Highly toxic pesticides that are banned in many developed countries are being widely used by potato farmers in Ecuador.
Ultimately, researchers believe pesticides classified as highly toxic by the WHO need to be restricted or banned but barring that, they recommend that pesticides be taxed in order to raise their price.
Cranial capacity is a measure of the volume of the interior of the skull
Toxiccapacity is the ability of an organism, organic system or ecosystem to sustain introduction of a toxin.
Seating capacity refers to the number of people who can be seated in a venue, either in terms of the space available, or in terms of limitations set by law.
