Toxic substances are classified into groups based on their effects and chemical nature. These include: 1. Neurotoxins: Damage the nervous system, affecting brain and nerve function. 2. Carcinogens: Can cause cancer by damaging DNA. 3. Mutagens: Induce genetic mutations, potentially leading to genetic disorders. 4. Endocrine disruptors: Interfere with hormone systems, affecting growth and development. 5. Sensitizers: Cause allergic reactions after repeated exposure. 6. Irritants: Cause inflammation or irritation on contact with skin or mucous membranes. These groups help us understand risks and safe handling measures for different toxic substances.
