Toxicokinetics 1 :
(a) The absorption, distribution, metabolism, storage, and excretion of chemicals. [JHU, 1999: Altweb Glossary]; (b) See: Pharmacokinetics. [Duffus, 2000: Univ. Edinburgh Med School On-line Chemical Safety Glossary] [Note: The terms toxicokinetics and pharmacokinetics describe the same processes; pharmacokinetics was derived in reference to drugs or other substances used for treatment, while toxicokinetics has more recently been used to refer to nonpharmaceutical toxic substances such as environmental pollutants.] [Cf.
