Mihir Changela Biology 4440 – Toxicology Dr. Heather Sutton November 11, 2015 Bhopal Gas Tragedy A terrible gas leak on December 2nd and 3rd, 1984 had some of the worst impacts on the central part of India. It happened in the late night and early morning hours on those days when the clouds where filled with gray smoke which contained Methyl Isocyanate(MIC), one of the most poisonous gases from Union Carbide plant in the city of Bhopal. It was called one of the world’s most dangerous environmental

My research question is what effects does pesticides have on our environment? There is a correlation between the usage of pesticides and it's impacts on environment. Before talking about the impacts that pesticides have on the environment, I will briefly explain what is are pesticides and why do farmers use them. My overall topic is about how pesticides are effecting our environment. I have divided the impacts of pesticides in five main topics: aquatic life,  health, birds, water(contamination),

Non clinical Studies for Biologic The discovery of a new drug without involving human subjects is called as non clinical studies. Goals of non-clinical testing of Biologics are: characterization of probable undesirable drug effects, identifying toxicities on organs, identifying convertibility of toxicity , characterization of pharmacokinetic report, characterization of favorable pharmacodynamic

Identifying an Unknown Solid Using Melting Point and Mixed Melting Point Data Shultz, Joshua T. Chemistry 2210L Results The experimenters inserted a capillary tube containing approximately 2 to 3 mm of benzoic acid into a manual Mel-Temp melting point apparatus. With the Mel-Temp dial set between 3 and 4, the temperature increased at a steady rate of approximately 2° C per minute from a plateau set at 90° C. The first appearance of liquid occurred at 119° C, and the benzoic acid completely

Animal Testing: Necessary Procedure or Outdated Experiment? Picture yourself applying your favorite make-up or taking medicine prescribed to you by your doctor, and ask yourself, how do you know its safe? Have you ever wondered what goes in to make sure that makeup or medicine isn’t lethal? A majority of making sure if things like drugs and make-up are safe is done by testing the drugs and cosmetics on different kinds of animals (Abbott 1). Animal testing once saved many lives (“Animal”, par.7)

The Ultimate Dilema      There are several safety precautions that we as humans take to ensure our safety. Humans most commonly test things before selling or using them. This can avoid liability and make sure products are safe. Cosmetics are among the many types of products that are being tested such as fragrances, toiletries, and cosmetics that are tested on millions of animals each year. This has created several controversies between animal rights activists and cosmetic

Many animal activists argue against testing on animals; however, it is not as cruel as it seems. Testing is not as harmful on the animals as people may think, and it has a great purpose. Animal testing continues to advance society in a number of ways. Laboratory testing of animals should not be stopped because it is an effective way to test drugs, leads to important discoveries that save human lives, and it benefits the animals as well. Animals are used to test many drugs and vaccines before

Week 5 – Final Lab Report Paper SCI207 Dependence of Man on the Environment, Marc Hnytka July 8, 2013 Week 5 Final Paper Abstract My report was based on the how ground water may be affected by myriad containments present in our experiment and in our everyday . Surprisingly when vinegar was filtered through dirt it came out fairly clean. This surprised me because I would never believed that vinegar had such a profound effect on water considering its oily nature. I was
