★Carbon tetrachloride, pesticides and heavy metals are known to damage the liver.
★So statement I about these pollutants is true.
★Chemicals that cause liver damage are called hepatotoxins.
★The term hematotoxin refers to substances that harm the blood, not the liver.
★So calling liver-damaging chemicals hematotoxins is wrong, making statement II false.
★Therefore statement I is true while statement II is false.
