Materials that damage particulate are referred to as irritants. This special class of irritants, including chemical reagents and commonly encountered substances, can damage the lungs and cause scar tissue formation, which lowers respiratory capacity. None of the above options are correct for this statement. Chemicals that interfere with oxygen distribution and uptake activity, causing a decrease in oxygen levels, are commonly referred to as asphyxiants. Inert chemicals such as nitrogen and halothane, which displace oxygen in enclosed spaces, are also considered asphyxiants. None of the above options are correct for this statement. Substances that activate the immune system and cause allergic responses may not be directly antigenic themselves, but they can make other materials antigenic. These substances are commonly referred to as allergens. None of the above options are correct for this statement. Toxic substances that specifically poison nerve cells are commonly referred to as neurotoxins. None of the above options are correct for this statement. Chemicals or other factors that cause abnormalities during development are commonly referred to as teratogens. None of the above options are correct for this statement. Substances that cause cancer are commonly referred to as carcinogens. None of the above options are correct for this statement. Poisoning by a single exposure to a toxic chemical is commonly referred to as acute poisoning. None of the above options are correct for this statement. Any poisonous effect produced by short-term exposure is commonly referred to as acute toxicity. None of the above options are correct for this statement. The branch of toxicology that seeks results and information that can be used to assess risk to humans and other living organisms is commonly referred to as descriptive toxicology. None of the above options are correct for this statement.

Noise pollution is the disturbing noise with harmful impact on the activity of human or animal life. True False Noise-induced hearing loss can only be caused by outside noise. True False Because cocaine tends to increase appetite, chronic users can become obese as well. True False Human activity is not the only cause of air pollution. True False Consuming fewer calories is not the only proven weight loss method. True False Global warming is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related effects. True False Binge drinking means drinking so much within about 2 hours that blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels reach 0.10g/dL. True False Environmental health is focused on the natural and built environments for the benefit of human health. True False Cancer can start in various parts of the body, not just the central nervous system. True False Which of the following refers to trans fats? unsaturated fats that are partially hydrogenated fats that are neither saturated nor unsaturated saturated fats converted to unsaturated fats high in omega 3 Genetic influences are not always easy to explain and identification of the genes is not easily achieved through studies. True False When someone smokes marijuana, THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to the brain and other organs throughout the body. True False According to Figure 1 from the chapter, Obesity rates in America have risen dramatically since 1980. True False Cocaine is a strong central nervous system stimulant that increases levels of dopamine. True False High cholesterol can be treated with diet, weight management, and physical activity. True False Taking even small amounts of methamphetamine can result in many of the same physical effects as those of other stimulants, such as cocaine or amphetamines, including increased wakefulness, increased physical activity, decreased appetite, increased respiration, rapid heart rate, irregular heartbeat, increased blood pressure, and hyperthermia. True False Alcohol is not a nutrient that carries only 7 calories per gram. True False
Polychlorinated biphenyls present in the environment tend to bioaccumulate in fish and other animals used for food and, in turn, impact human health. True, False
