Toxic effect: organic solvent, unspecified - what does this mean

Toxic effect from organic solvents is caused by exposure to high concentrations of these chemicals, either through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. the effects can range from minor irritation to severe organ damage, depending on the type and concentration of the solvent.

What happens during the disease - toxic effect: organic solvent, unspecified

The toxic effect of an unspecified organic solvent is caused by the solvent's ability to penetrate cell membranes and disrupt the normal functioning of the cells. this disruption of cellular functioning can cause a variety of symptoms depending on the type of cell affected, including changes in the cell's metabolism, disruption of the cell's structural integrity, and damage to the cell's dna. in extreme cases, this can lead to cell death.
