14. HARMFUL EFFECTS Acute effects injuries that appear immediately after exposure injuries that appear immediately after exposure <24 hours <24 hours main way to assess pesticides toxicity main way to assess pesticides toxicity effects may burn or be absorbed into system effects may burn or be absorbed into system
