Explanation:

• First question: A carcinogen is a substance or agent that has the potential to cause cancer. An asphyxiant is a substance that can cause suffocation. A systemic poison affects the whole body. An irritant causes irritation to tissues. So, the chemical that causes cancer is a carcinogen.
• Second question: The effects of being around or using chemicals can manifest over various time frames. Some may show immediate effects, while others (like some carcinogenic effects) can take decades to develop. So, it's not true that all effects can only be traced to a 2 - year time frame.

Answer:

• First question: Carcinogen
• Second question: False
