Exposure to a harmful substance may have reversible or irreversible effects on human health. Effects such as headaches and nausea are reversible, while cancer, birth defects, and damage to the nervous system are irreversible. Depending upon the substance, reversible and/or irreversible effects can result from short or long term exposure.
