Toxicological responses can be categorized into several types:
Acute Toxicity: A rapid response to a high dose of a chemical, often with severe effects. Chronic Toxicity: Occurs over a prolonged period, with persistent exposure to a lower dose, potentially leading to long-term health effects. Allergic Reactions: Hypersensitivity responses that occur in some individuals upon exposure to certain chemicals. Idiosyncratic Reactions: Unpredictable and atypical responses that occur in a small fraction of the population.
