Experimental exposure may be acute - that is, an exposure in which the dose is delivered in a single event and absorption is rapid. Although this type of exposure is usually short, an acute exposure may produce chronic effects. In contrast, there is a need to assess effects under chronic exposure conditions in which the dose is delivered at some frequency (daily or weekly usually) over a period of time. 3, record 3, English, - chronic%20exposure

Il faut [...] faire la distinction entre une exposition aiguë ou chronique et des effets aigus ou chroniques. Ainsi, une seule dose de [...] TOCP produit, chez l'homme, une lésion nerveuse permanente. Une exposition aiguë a donc entraîné un effet chronique. Dans certains cas, suite à une exposition aiguë ou subaiguë, la lésion n'apparaîtra qu'après une période de latence. 1, record 3, French, - exposition%20chronique

La source RAMEC parle d'«exposition permanente», «exposition à long terme» ou d'«exposition prolongée» et rejette l'adjectif «chronique» (voir fiche «intoxication chronique») mais nous pensons que ces termes équivalent plutôt à ce que l'anglais dénomme «long-term exposure» (voir cette fiche). 2, record 3, French, - exposition%20chronique
