Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chronic exposure to low-level doses of workplace chemicals below standards can still pose a health risk, as the long-term effects of such exposures are often not well understood.

Answer: B is incorrect as only a small percentage of chemicals have actually been studied for human health effects. A is incorrect as there are many chemicals that are normally present in the body (such as hormones and neurotransmitters). D is incorrect as many chemical exposures can have interactive effects, making it challenging to predict their health impacts.
