What is chronic toxicity?

  1. Immediate effects of pesticide exposure

  2. Long term effects from exposure to an active ingredient (AI)

  3. Short term effects due to direct contact

  4. The result of one-time exposure to a high dose

The correct answer is: Long term effects from exposure to an active ingredient (AI)

Chronic toxicity refers to the long term effects that can occur from repeated exposure to a substance or active ingredient (AI). This can differ from immediate effects of exposure (option A), which may occur after a single exposure or occur quickly after exposure. Short term effects (option C) typically refer to effects that occur within a short period of time after exposure, but may not necessarily be long lasting. Similarly, the result of one-time exposure to a high dose (option D) may cause acute toxicity, but chronic toxicity specifically refers to the long term effects that can occur from repeated exposure.
