Older Adults Have Higher Body Burdens of Chemicals That Have

Older adults have higher body burdens of chemicals that have been absorbed over their lifetimes, and these chemicals collect in the adipose tissue or bone, and can later result in poor health outcomes, such as cancer or organ damage. The PHN recognizes that this substance collection is called:

A) Half-life.
B) Bioaccumulation.
C) Latency period.
D) Environmental exposure.
