What is the term for poisoning that results from repeated small exposures to pesticides over a long period?

Chronic poisoning refers to the health effects resulting from repeated, small exposures to pesticides over an extended period. Unlike acute poisoning, which occurs after a single large dose and leads to immediate symptoms, chronic poisoning can manifest over time, often leading to long-term health issues that may not be immediately apparent. This type of poisoning can arise from cumulative exposure to various chemicals, making it particularly insidious, as symptoms may develop slowly and can be related to many different health conditions. Recognizing chronic poisoning is essential for implementing preventive measures, especially in environments where pesticides are regularly used.
