adverse effects    Used with drugs, chemicals, or biological agents in accepted dosage - or with physical agents or manufactured products in normal usage -- when intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, prophylactic, or anesthetic purposes.

poisoning    Used with drugs, chemicals, and industrial materials for human or animal poisoning, acute or chronic, whether the poisoning is accidental, occupational, suicidal, by medication error, or by environmental exposure.

toxicity    Used with drugs and chemicals for experimental human and animal studies of their ill effects. It includes studies to determine the margin of safety or the reactions accompanying administration at various dose levels. It is used also for experimental studies of exposure to environmental agents.

chemically induced    Used for diseases, syndromes, congenital abnormalities, or symptoms caused by chemical compounds in man or animals.
