The incorporation of liquids or gases into the body. Absorption is also the process by which liquid hazardous materials are soaked up by sand, sawdust, or other material to limit the spread of contamination. Acute effect. A pathologic process caused by a single substantial exposure. Acute exposure. A single encounter to toxic concentrations of a hazardous material or multiple encounters over a short period of time (usually 24 hours). Adaptation. The tendency of certain receptors to become less responsive or cease
