Abstract
Toxicological tests are only meaningful and interpretable, when the chemical composition and the physicochemical properties of the applied substances are known. These properties determine to a large extent the behavior of a substance in the environment and in the living organism. Thus, knowledge of physicochemical properties is important for the development of therapeutic drugs as well as for the risk assessment of all chemicals.
