Local effects

Local effects refer to changes or impacts that happen directly at the point where an event occurs. For example, if a small fire damages a particular building, the damage is a local effect because it's confined to that specific location. In science or medicine, local effects describe reactions or consequences happening at a specific site, like inflammation in a specific area of the body. These effects are distinct from broader, widespread impacts and help us understand what is happening right where the change or event takes place.
