How Do Dosage and Exposure Duration Affect Toxicity?
The dosage and duration of exposure are critical factors in determining a substance's toxicity. A small dose of a highly toxic substance can be more dangerous than a large dose of a less toxic one. Acute exposure refers to a short-term exposure to a toxin, while chronic exposure involves repeated or continuous exposure over a long period. Chronic exposure can lead to accumulation in the body and cause long-term health effects.
