What is chronic toxicity?

Immediate effects of pesticide exposure
Long term effects from exposure to an active ingredient (AI)
Short term effects due to direct contact
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.
