A half-life is the time it takes for a substance to reduce to half its initial amount, often in the context of radioactive decay or pharmacokinetics. Factors that can shorten a half-life include increased temperature, changes in pressure, or chemical reactions that facilitate decay. For pharmaceuticals, factors like metabolism rate, organ function, and individual differences in biochemistry can also lead to a reduced half-life.
