What Are the Toxicological Concerns of SARS-CoV-2?
The virus can cause both short-term and long-term health effects. In the short term, the primary concern is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which can be fatal. Long-term effects, often referred to as "long COVID," can include neurological effects, cardiovascular issues, and persistent fatigue. Toxicologists study these effects to understand the underlying mechanisms and to develop potential interventions.
