**About ToxFAQs™**

The ATSDR ToxFAQs™ is a series of summaries about hazardous substances.             Information for this series is excerpted from the ATSDR Toxicological Profiles.             Each fact sheet serves as a quick and easy to understand guide. Answers are             provided to the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) about exposure to             hazardous substances found around hazardous waste sites and the effects of             exposure on human health.
