Answer: Toxic exposure can be defined as the exposure of a toxin or poison and when it gets imbibe or absorbed in the body of a person and get circulated to all the parts of the body through blood circulation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A person may get exposed to the toxin either accidentally or for a purpose. The toxin can also be used a weapon to kill another person. There are two main kinds of exposure acute and chronic. The acute exposure of the toxin may remain for a short period of time and the chronic exposure is for prolonged period. Sometimes acute poison can cause instant death and the chronic poison shows a later profound impact on the body with daily intake of some amount of poison. Levels of toxicity can be defined as the different ranges of exposure of toxic.
