DescriptionDiffusion of organic molecules in the gill based on log Kow of the xenobiotic.png
English: Barriers to diffusion of organic molecules in the gill based on log KOW of the xenobiotic. Green arrows show diffusion across the barriers where the aqueous diffusion boundary will slow the uptake of highly lipophilic molecules (log KOW greater than ~3) and the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane will slow the uptake of highly polar molecules (log KOW less than ~1).
