Toxicity tolerance

Toxitolerance ( English toxitolerance or toxi-tolerance or toxic tolerance and French toxitolerance ) describes the ability of living things to withstand concentrations of toxins . High toxicity tolerance describes the ability of an organism to endure high amounts of toxins. The toxicity tolerance is given in toxicity tolerance values (To) 1 (extremely sensitive) to 9 (very high tolerance).

Toxic tolerance is often examined in connection with ecological studies of air pollution using bio-indicators such as deciduous moss and lichen .
