This research paper will explain along with explore the side-effects of the toxin
Tetrachloroethylene and the hindering factors that is causes when it is exposed or come into contact with the human body.
Tetrachloroethylene is considered as one of the most volatile, hazardous and synthetic
(manufactured) chemical substance that comes in the form of a non-flammable, clear-colorless along with liquefied substance that is composed of chlorinated hydrocarbon which is used mainly as a solvent abroad in the metal degreasing operations, dry cleaning/textile industry and etc. (Kacew & Lee, 2013).
The chemical solvent tetrachloroethylene is known by many sub-names such as (Agency for Toxic
Substances and Diseases Registry,

This particular toxin solvent has been in existence since the dawn of time during the year of 1980, in which it was discovered or detected in some an enclosure of ground , surface water as well as in the atmosphere (air), soil, food and even breast milk of mothers (ATSDR, 1997). The main routes of exposures take place during the inhalation (breathing) of vapor-mist and ingestion of contaminated water along with dermal exposure, which occurs when there is a usage of contaminated tap water during showering, bathing, or swimming this is considered as a minor route of entering (ATSDR,
1997).
People do not realize that this particular chemical point of entrance into the environment
Basically occur when it evaporates into the air during the time it is being used or exposed. A the same
Time it can also seep into our water supply and then into the soil during the disposal of filthy sewage
Sludge and from plant waste that is usually leaking from underground storage tanks that are not properly sealed (ATSDR, 1993) and (ATSDR, 1997). Tetrachloroethylene can also get into the air that

EPA, 1991). It is a known fact that the human body can at any time can become exposed to toxins or chemicals entities which will cause a terrible unbalance to the immune system with severe ailments (Kacew & Lee, 2013).
The Respiratory System (Kacew & Lee, 2013):
The role of the respiratory system is to supply oxygen to various parts of our body for it to function properly and this process is accomplished through the process of breathing-inhaling (oxygen) and exhaling (carbon dioxide). The main route of exposure of this agent is through the process of inhalation and at this time the chemical substance tetrachloroethylene will then absorb into the blood in the body through the entrance of the lungs (Kacew & Lee, 2013). During this process of the intake of air the amount of the exposure of this agent will depend upon the ventilation rate, time of exposure and concentration of intake of atmospheric from the act of breathing it from the air. This will cause irritation of the lung, shortness of breath, coughing, vomiting, double vision, coma, chemical pneumonitis or
Answer 2: The respiratory system functions in the exchange of gases with the outside environment. Oxygen is inhaled through the nasal cavity or the mouth, and it travels to the alveoli in the lungs. There, the capillaries exchange the oxygen for carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood flows back to the heart from the lungs. It enters the left side of the heart and is delivered to all the body tissues via the aorta. In the capillaries of the body tissues, oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide. This deoxygenated blood flows back to the right side of the heart and then to the lung. In the capillaries that run across the alveoli, carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen that has recently been inhaled. The carbon dioxide will then be exhaled through the mouth and nasal cavity.
The chemicals inhaled nare arsenic, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide,many of these have been proven toxic or have been proven to cause
- inhalation into the nose, throat and lungs (pathogens in the air or droplets, which can cause e.g. TB),
Contact with any other chemical should be treated as this one. 8. All protective gear listed above should be used in the experiment in the same way. 9. Hair tied back.
➢ The patient may have no respiratory problems, but may still have inhaled carbon monoxide.
2: What type of decay does this substance undergo, and how harmful can it be to those exposed?
has to use a mix of chemicals along with water to actually get the job done, all of the chemicals
Explain the pathophysiology behind this event. For example a person inhales an allergen may be dog hair, pollen, dust, or even mould. This person will be either fine then take a turn or it can take allot of exposure to react now the irritant is in the lungs and
them down drains, or by dumping onto the ground. In addition, vapors emitted by several steps
Exposure to drugs, chemicals of infectious disease at levels that cause illness, pain and distress or death
Ethanoyl anhydride and concentrated sulfuric acid are highly corrosive. Ethanol is flammable, salicylic acid is irritant to eyes and skin. Chemicals were handled in the fume cupboard. Plastic gloves were worn throughout the experiment.
My Thesis Statement is that Dioxin is one of the rogue chemical, which can have bad impacts both human- and animals health, which also can cause at worst the death.
Long term chronic exposure is that the mortality rate from human contact to extraordinary absorptions of these toxins have been documented since the 1900s (ACGIH, 2005). And there has been an accumulative attention on the impacts of hazardous toxins at ever lower levels of exposure. Epidemiological studies have shown correlations between workplace exposure to hazardous substances and the onset of disease, and at the same time there has been a greater than before understanding of the mechanisms by which contaminants exert its poisonous effects.
The respiratory system is the process responsible for the transportation and exchange of gases into and out of the human body. As we breath in, oxygen in the air containing oxygen is drawn into the lungs through a series of air pipes known as the airway and into the lungs. As air is drawn into the lungs and waste gas excreted, it passes through the airway, first through the mouth or nose and through the pharynx, larynx and windpipe – also known as the trachea. At this point it then enters the lungs through the bronchi before finally reaching the air sacs known as alveoli. Within the lungs, through a process known as diffusion, the oxygen is transferred to the blood stream through the alveoli (air ducts) where it is then transported inside
The lungs can expand and the air is sucked in throughout our nose or mouth. The air travels down our windpipe and into our lungs. After passing through
