OBS

On entend par "toxicité", la capacité inhérente à une substance de produire un effet délétère sur l'organisme. Il ne faut pas confondre ce terme avec le mot "risque" ou "hazard" des Anglo-Saxons, qui indique la probabilité avec laquelle un effet toxique surviendra suivant les conditions d'emploi d'une substance déterminée.
