Individual

Sensitivity

People respond to exposure in different ways depending on:

  • What kind of chemical they are exposed to
  • How much of the chemical they are exposed to
  • How long the contact lasted
  • How often they are exposed
  • How it entered into the body
  • Overall health

People may experience transitory effects, even though exposure was well below the limit.
