    2.3. Toxicokinetics of fungicides: Toxicokinetic studies provide important data on the amount of toxicant delivered to a target as well as specific metabolism. Animals are exposed to fungicides through ingestion or they are absorbed through the skin or the respiratory system. Different factors regulate their absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion. In general, the liver is the primary site for biotransformation and may include detoxification as well as activation reactions (Gupta., 1986)
