Toxicity information

Toxicity refers to how harmful a substance is to living organisms, including humans. It describes the potential for a substance to cause health problems or damage, such as poisoning, allergic reactions, or long-term illnesses. Toxicity varies depending on the substance, the dose, and how it enters the body (like inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact). Understanding toxicity helps us assess risks and handle chemicals safely, ensuring we minimize exposure and prevent adverse health effects. In essence, toxicity is about measuring how dangerous a substance can be to health.
