Chapter 3: How do we get exposed and who is most vulnerable?
IN THIS CHAPTER
We will look at what is meant by chemical, physical and biological toxins and some examples of each. Routes of exposure are explored with insight as to how certain toxins relate to an impact on particular body systems and disease. We look at why often toxin exposure is problematic, especially for vulnerable groups. However, a positive note is that there is much we can modify, sometimes quiet easily, to limit negative impacts on our health.
