... BlO~GI~Y ~ The amount of the deposited or absorbed contaminant that reaches the cells or target site where an adverse effect occurs or where an interaction of that contaminant with a membrane surface occurs. Dose The amount of a contaminant that is absorbed or deposited in the body of an exposed organism for an increment of tune usually from a single medium.
