Significance of Chronic toxicity
Chronic toxicity refers to the harmful effects that result from prolonged exposure to toxic substances, manifesting over time rather than immediately. This condition can lead to long-term health issues affecting various organs and systems within the body. Examples include the adverse effects from continued consumption of lead, tobacco, or pesticides, which can result in serious health complications. Understanding chronic toxicity is essential for evaluating the safety of substances and their potential long-term implications on health.
