Species differences in sensitivity

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011089",
  "term": "Species differences in sensitivity",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The variation in the response of different species when exposed to the same concentration of a specific toxicant or environmental stressor. This variability arises from physiological, metabolic, and genetic differences, leading to different levels of susceptibility. For example, one species might show high mortality at a chemical concentration that has no observable effect on another, a key consideration in ecological risk assessment.",
