Standardized human toxicity tests have been highly effective in detecting toxicity that may occur in animals.
TRUE
FALSE
This type of toxicity test provides data on the relative toxicity likely to arise from a single or brief exposure, or sometimes multiple doses over a brief period of time.
Acute toxicity
Subchronic tocicity
Chronic toxicity
Carcinogenicity
This type of toxicity test determines toxicity from exposure that extend over a long period of time and involve large groups of animals.
Acute toxicity
Subchronic tocicity
Chronic toxicity
