Toxic effect: homologues of benzene - what does this mean

Toxic effects of homologues of benzene occur when these molecules are inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. the toxic effects can be acute or chronic depending on the amount of exposure, and can range from mild skin and eye irritation to cancer, kidney and liver damage, and other serious health effects.

What happens during the disease - toxic effect: homologues of benzene

The toxic effect of homologues of benzene is caused by their ability to interact with cellular components such as dna and proteins, resulting in either direct or indirect damage to cells. this damage can lead to disruption of normal cellular processes, resulting in a toxic effect. in addition, these homologues can also interfere with the body's detoxification processes, leading to further accumulation of toxins in the body and an increased toxic effect.
