Which type of effects include injury at the point of contact with the skin, eyes, or respiratory system?

Local Effects
Systemic Effects
Cholinesterase inhibition
Contact effects

The correct answer is: Local Effects

Local effects include injury at the point of contact with the skin, eyes, or respiratory system. This is different from systemic effects, which refer to the effects of a substance on the entire body or specific organs. Cholinesterase inhibition, or the interference with an enzyme in the nervous system, is a specific type of systemic effect that affects nerve impulse transmission. Contact effects are not a distinct category of toxic effects, but rather refer to the route of exposure (direct contact with the skin, eyes, or respiratory system). Therefore, the correct answer is A, local effects.
