What Are the Common Types of Toxicological Outcomes?
Toxicological outcomes can be categorized into several types:
Acute toxicity: Results from a short-term exposure to a high dose, leading to immediate health effects. Chronic toxicity: Occurs from long-term exposure to lower doses, potentially causing lasting health issues. Carcinogenicity: The potential of a substance to cause cancer. Reproductive toxicity: Effects on reproduction and fetal development. Neurotoxicity: Adverse effects on the nervous system.
