Of or pertaining to xenobiosis

(noun) A xenobiotic chemical, such as a pesticide
(adj.) Foreign to the body or to living organisms. Used of chemical compounds
A xenobiotic is a chemical which is found in an organism but which is not normally produced or expected to be present in it. It can also cover substances which are present in much higher concentrations than are usual. Specifically, drugs such as antibiotics are xenobiotics in humans because the human body does not produce them itself nor would they be expected to be present as part of a normal diet. However, the term is also used in the context of pollutants such as dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls and their effect on the biota. Natural compounds can also become xenobiotics if they are taken up by another organism (e.g., uptake of natural human hormones by fish found downstream of sewage treatment plant outfalls)
A chemical which is not a natural component of the living organism exposed to it
A compound foreign to biological systems Often refers to human-made compounds that are resistant or recalcitrant to biodegradation and/or decomposition
