Nutritional status can substantially modify the toxicity of environmental

pollutants. Investigations with experimental animals and epidemiological

observations on humans have established the role of nutrition in altering

susceptibility to a variety of pollutants including pesticides and heavy

metals. The degree of nutritional deficiency that alters susceptibility

need not be severe. Frequently only biochemical indications of nutritional

deficiency can be associated with changes in the dose-response of an

animal or person to a toxic compound.
