Explanation:

This is a study  that  give details  or accounts of events  that occur after an exposure of  organisms to certain doses  or chemicals substances after a period of time, based on the extent of response of the organisms. The main objective is to determine the extent of  effects(negative , rarely negative )  of the exposed chemicals, and the effects of  levels of  dosages on the organism. Thus it is a measure of how each  level of exposure of  to certain drugs or chemicals affects   organism, through their responses after the exposure.
