Xenobiotics are artificial substances that are foreign to an entire biological system, that is, not produced by or within the body itself. For example, antibiotics in case of a human body.Antibiotics are resistant to microbial attack. So they are administered as drugs.

Also, substances if present in higher concentrations than usual can also be grouped into xenobiotics.

Xenobiotics find many uses in our daily lives as food additives, drugs and pesticides.

They are also harmful towards nature and health as environmental pollutants such as dioxins and carcinogens (cancer causing substances).As a result, xenobiotic substances are used in this context, very often.

A xenobiotic is a chemical substance found within an organism that is not naturally produced or expected to be present within the organism. It can also cover substances that are present in much higher concentrations than are usual.


Natural compounds can also become xenobiotics if they are taken up by another organism, such as the uptake of natural human hormones by fish found downstream of sewage treatment plant outfalls, or the chemical defenses produced by some organisms as protection against predators.
