The effects of toxic chemicals can range from mild to severe, including:
Acute toxicity: Rapid onset of symptoms following a single exposure. Chronic toxicity: Long-term health effects from repeated or continuous exposure over time. Carcinogenicity: The potential to cause cancer. Mutagenicity: The ability to cause genetic mutations. Teratogenicity: The potential to cause birth defects.
