Toxicity
(Taken from "Terms of the Environment" http://www.epa.gov/OCEPAterms/tterms.html)
Definition: The degree to which a substance or mixture of substances can harm humans or animals. Acute toxicity involves harmful effects in an organism through a single or short-term exposure. Chronic toxicity is the ability of a substance or mixture of substances to cause harmful effects over an extended period, usually upon repeated or continuous exposure sometimes lasting for the entire life of the exposed organism. Subchronic toxicity is the ability of the substance to cause effects for more than one year but less than the lifetime of the exposed organism.
Toxicant: A harmful substance or agent that may injure an exposed organism.
So, which stage am I in?
