Now you know some toxicology terms and concepts. Here is a web page that is the United States Code that is federal law. It can be accessed by several routes, here we go to it via a legal site "findlaw.com" . This is the "definitions" section of the Consumer Product Safety Act. Scroll down to the definitions of "toxic" and "highly toxic." (Little "g" and "h" in the code.) I suggest you copy them to a temporary file. http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/casecode/uscodes/15/chapters/30/sections/section_1261.html [the FindLaw site may not open to that chapter and verse. If so, here is a pdf of those definitions.]

If you just read the definition of "toxic," about how many substances are you aware of that might be considered "toxic" under this definition.

There are questions in your quiz based upon the definition of "highly toxic."
