Toxicological effects can be classified into several types, including:
Acute Effects: These occur rapidly after exposure to a toxicant, often within hours or days. Chronic Effects: These develop over a long period, typically from prolonged exposure to lower doses of a toxicant. Carcinogenic Effects: Some substances can cause cancer by inducing genetic mutations or disrupting cellular processes. Teratogenic Effects: These lead to developmental abnormalities in a fetus when exposure occurs during pregnancy.
