When considering chronic exposure, the concept of days becomes more relevant. The cumulative effects of exposure over days can lead to different health outcomes compared to acute exposure. For instance, liver damage from alcohol toxicity might not be evident immediately but can manifest over days of excessive consumption.
Additionally, the biotransformation and bioaccumulation of substances in the body are processes that often occur over days. These processes can lead to the gradual buildup of toxins to harmful levels, emphasizing the importance of understanding exposure duration.
