In fact‚ during prohibition many people died or became severely ill from methanol poisoning when they drank the liquid as a substitute for commercial liquor. Methane gases are sometimes used to power automobiles‚ which is a source of emition for methanol. Drinking even a small amount of methane alcohol will paralyze the optic

Exposure to lead has been proven to be a large public health concern. For the purposes of this paper‚ I am going to introduce what lead is‚ how people are exposed to lead‚ and the physiologic effects of lead exposure‚ focusing on acute lead toxicity‚ but more specifically‚ on chronic low level lead toxicity. The supplementation of 3 studies shows the relationship between lead exposure and one of these physiologic effects in children‚ specifically intelligence as measured by IQ scores. Lead is

Mercury is a metallic element that is naturally found in rocks within the earth’s crust. It is dispersed into the environment in various ways such as soil‚ weathering of rocks‚ volcanoes‚ mining coal combustion‚ power plants‚ municipal waste and even the products used in the household or for health.

molecule can be the difference between having a medically active‚ effective drug and a toxic‚ potentially lethal‚ substance. For instance‚ one enantiomer of the molecule Naproxen is used to treat arthritis pain but the other enantiomer causes liver poisoning. With such high stakes‚ it is easy to see the importance of being able to create molecules in the exact way necessary to yield the desired effects. Therefore‚ it is necessary for synthetic chemists to have reagents that allow them to be selective

However‚ at higher concentrations they can lead to poisoning for human‚ animal‚ plant and microorganisms. Over the last decades‚ environmental contamination with heavy metals has increased drastically (Yasar Kiran‚ Ahmet Sahin 2005) Heavy metals have recently received the attention of researchers all over

Water fluoridation was introduced into the United Sates in the 1950s. It is still a topic discussed and debated today‚ specifically what the actual benefits are‚ and whether or not it is safe and effective. Fluoride should not be added to public water because of the risk of over exposure‚ medical issues that are cause by that over exposure‚ and the lack of benefits it is shown to have. Fluoride should not be added to water because of the high risk of over exposure. Water fluoridation is the process
