An acute effect refers to a sudden onset of symptoms after a single exposure to a substance. In this situation, the person is experiencing dizziness after using a strong household cleaner, suggesting that the exposure has had an immediate impact on their health. Chronic effects occur after repeated exposure over an extended period, subchronic effects occur after repeated exposure over a shorter period than chronic effects, subacute effects refer to effects that occur over a period of days or weeks, and superacute effects refer to effects that occur within hours of exposure.
