Chemicals & Life
The Dose, The Duration, The Defence
Biological life is a complex sequence of chemical reactions occurring in delicate equilibrium. In our modern industrial age, the human body is exposed to an unprecedented cocktail of thousands of synthetic substances daily. While many are inert or beneficial, a significant subset—toxicants—can interfere with cellular signalling, DNA replication, and endocrine function.
The impact of any substance is determined by the fundamental principle of toxicology: “Sola dosis facit venenum” (only the dose makes the poison). However, modern science has revealed that for certain substances like Lead or PFAS, low-dose chronic exposure over decades can be as detrimental as acute high-dose events. Understanding these substances is the first step in creating barriers between environmental hazards and biological health.

Defining Mitigation
Risk Management in Practice
In toxicology, mitigation refers to the deliberate actions taken to reduce the severity, impact, or probability of exposure to hazardous substances. While it is often impossible to completely eliminate a chemical from the environment, mitigation strategies create a “defence-in-depth” model.
This process is vital because it addresses the exposure pathway. By intercepting a toxin before it reaches a biological receptor (the human body), we can significantly lower the total “body burden”. Whether through water filtration, soil remediation, or personal protective equipment, mitigation allows for safer coexistence with essential but potentially hazardous industrial and agricultural chemistries.
