Toxicology

QUESTION 5: The objective of the subacute toxicity test is to determine toxicity after repeated administration of the tested material. It helps to establish doses for sub-chronic studies. The duration of Sub- Acute Toxicity test is 14 to 90 days. The test system uses 2 species that may contain mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs. The dose administration contains 3-4 doses given by the same routes as the previous toxicity. The routes commonly used are Oral, dermal or intravenous. The parameter

Toxic Shock Syndrome is a rare, potentially life-threatening, syndrome that was initially discovered and diagnosed in the 1970s. “It is characterized by high fever, rash, hypotension, multi organ failure (involving at least 3 or more organ systems), and desquamation of the skin, typically of the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, 1-2 weeks after the onset of acute illness. The clinical syndrome can also include severe myalgia, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and nonfocal neurologic abnormalities

Lead Paint Removal: Health Risks Related to Lead Paint Exposure Lead poisoning is a dangerous issue that faces many homeowners and families around the world. In the past, lead was placed in paints that were used commercially and residentially in homes. Today, it is important to have lead paint removed properly in order to avoid health risks. Here are some of the concerns you may face if you don't properly remove the lead in your home. Brain Development One of the main issues related to lead exposure

The population that will be receiving the lead poisoning education are the PTAs. PTA stands for parent-teacher-association. It is composed of parents whose child/children attends the school, as well as teachers who teaches in the same school. Once a month they hold meetings in school discussing events, and other important manner. The focal point of PTA meetings are improving communication with the parents, teachers, and students; and fundraising that goes towards after-school programs, and educational

Skyah Grant David Gomez 3/27/18 Air Pollution Assay Lab Report Abstract: In this lab we had 5 different samples of lichen and put one of each metal solution into the samples of lichen to determine how heavy metal air pollution effects species. Each lichen sample ended in different results. Introduction: lichen is a symbiotic association (mutualistic) between a fungus and an algae or cyanobacterium The body of the lichen (thallus)is a mix of both organisms. in this way, one would not be able to

Every time you look into the mirror, you find the natural health of your skin deteriorating from problems like aging, acne, blackheads, wrinkles, dark circles etc. The reason is not only the physiological changes in the skin, due to aging, but the harsh chemicals that come in contact with our skin. Certified organic cosmetics can provide safe, healthy solutions and benefits to one's skin. Our skin, being the largest organ of the body, is very sensitive, very porous (over 70% seepage into the body

With the industrialization of agriculture, companies have been testing various methods to increase efficiency and quantity of products (Curry, 2013). A particular method is to decrease the amount of time needed for the desired food product to grow to a harvestable quality. This can be done by using chemicals and hormones to trick plants into growing faster than normal. Gibberellins are a group naturally occurring hormones that are involved in plant growth (Dar et al., 2015). Gibberellic acid (GA3)

CHAPTER TWO LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Water pollution FAO (1992) noted that the adulteration of water supplies from both natural and anthropogenic sources has impacted on the health and economic status of populations. Human activities contribute to pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides into aquatic ecosystems. These anthropogenic activities continuously increase the amounts in the environment. According to Malik et al. (2010), heavy metal pollution is burgeoning at an frightening

There are a few factors that modify toxicity, those factors are as follows, age, gender, disease, lifestyle and diet, and genetics. To better understand how these factors modify toxicity, a comparison will need to be conducted. In this comparison, we will compare a healthy middle-aged male, with a middle-aged female who smokes and has a suppressed immune system. The comparison will be how the toxin with the same concentration and duration effects that individuals based on the modifying factors (Richards
