Toxic effect: phenol and phenol homologues - what does this mean

Phenol and phenol homologues are toxic when absorbed through the skin or ingested. acute toxic effects can include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and central nervous system depression. long-term exposure to these compounds can cause tissue damage, liver and kidney damage, and increased risk of cancer.

What happens during the disease - toxic effect: phenol and phenol homologues

Toxic effects of phenol and phenol homologues are caused by their ability to disrupt the normal metabolic processes in cells. phenols and homologues can inhibit enzymes, disrupt the cell membrane, or interfere with the electron transport chain, leading to cell death. the toxic effects of phenols may be further amplified by their ability to accumulate in the body, leading to increased toxicity over time.
