Now you know some toxicology terms and concepts. Here is a web page that is the United States Code that is federal law. It can be accessed by several routes, here we go to it via a legal site "findlaw.com" . This is the "definitions" section of the Consumer Product Safety Act. Scroll down to the definitions of "toxic" and "highly toxic." I suggest you copy them to a temporary file. http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/casecode/uscodes/15/chapters/30/sections/section_1261.html

If you just read the definition of "toxic," about how many substances are you aware of that might be considered "toxic" under this definition.

There is a question in your homework that regards the definition of "highly toxic."
