It usually involves a consideration of an exposure rate which is then compared to a rate related to a given toxic response. Risk then is quantified based on the possibility or probability of the exposure rate meeting or exceeding the rate that causes toxicity. Both exposure and response depend on an agent s chemistry relative to its environmental transport distribution and fate within the target organism pharmacokinetics and its ability to elicit an adverse response at one or more sites or receptors activity . Any change in the chemical disposition of an agent that affects exposure pharmacokinetics or activity inevitably will alter the projections of potential adverse effect and thereby the risk. 193 2009 by Taylor Francis Group LLC 194 Nanotechnology and the Environment A nanomaterial is a particulate manifestation of one or more identifiable chemicals combined as an insoluble entity in its medium of transport. Because covalent interactions would negate the particle s identity as a nanomaterial interactions with the suspending medium usually involve only weak or Coulomb forces. By .
