Given below are two statements

Statement I: Acute exposure to a chemical is a long-term continuous exposure to that chemical

Statement II: Chronic exposure to a chemical is a short-term exposure to that chemical

In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

The correct answer is Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
Key Points

• The various chemical exposure that can harm a person is known as exposure pathways.
• Ingestion, skin contact, and inhalation are the three main exposure routes. Breathing or inhaling into the lungs is known as inhalation.

Statement I: Acute exposure to a chemical is long-term continuous exposure to that chemical.

• Acute means small so acute exposure to chemicals is always short-term. 
• Acute exposure to chemicals does not affect the body in the long run.
• Its effects can be decreased and do not lead to huge damage. 
• However acute exposure but in a large quantity leads to heavy damage to a person or property.

Hence Statement I is incorrect.

Statement II: Chronic exposure to a chemical is short-term exposure to that chemical

• Chronic exposure to chemicals is related to the long term.
• Even a small amount of chemical exposure in the long run severally damages health and property.
• Chronic exposure leads to the deterioration of the whole body. 
• It acts as a slow poison.

Hence Statement II is also incorrect.

Therefore, We can draw a conclusion from the above discussion that statements I and II both are incorrect.
