Question: 1 / 400

What term describes sickness from repeated pesticide exposure over several months or years?

Acute toxicity

Chronic toxicity

Chronic toxicity is the correct term for sickness that results from repeated pesticide exposure over an extended period, typically months or years. This form of toxicity occurs as a result of long-term exposure to relatively low doses of a substance, which can accumulate in the body over time, leading to various health issues.

In contrast, acute toxicity refers to the harmful effects that appear shortly after exposure to a pesticide, often from a single, high dose. A pesticide hazard generally refers to the potential for a pesticide to cause harm rather than describing the specific type of illness resulting from long-term exposure. Thus, chronic toxicity specifically addresses the concept of prolonged exposure leading to health problems, making it the most appropriate choice for this question.
