It is becoming evident that humans are continuously exposed to a plethora of chemicals from food, medicinal agents, occupational activity and contaminated sites. Exposure to chemicals begins in utero and continues throughout life. Toxicological risk assessment of individual chemicals provides the quantitative estimate of its possible effects on human health. When humans are exposed to chemicals, they are not exposed to a single chemical only, but simultaneous or sequential exposure occurs to a…

When people upgrade their phones, they usually dispose of their previous phones improperly, by doing so they are harming the earth unknowingly. Many gadget makers are trying to lower the amount of…

INTRODUCTION Surface waters are the natural water resources that are found on the earth’s surface, such as oceans, rivers, lakes or dams etc(Chen, Teng et al. 2013). These water resources become polluted in many different ways. And when this happens is called the surface water pollution, which occurs when hazardous substances come into contact with the water resources (Chen, Teng et al. 2013). These water resources are important for drinking, domestic use and recreational purposes; however they…

EDI values of Pb in shellfish samples ranged from 0.24 to 0.70; 0.02 to 0.11 in cadmium. Whereas EDI values for As ranged from 0.63 to 1.05 and in Hg ranged from 2.49 to 4.31 (Table 2). It notes worthy, that HR values in case of Pb and Cd did not exceed one. However, it ranged between 2.09 to 3.50 in case of As and between 4.99 and 8…

by grain fungus. A necropsy test is an examination of an animal carcass after death, similar to an autopsy for a human. The state of Montana found that the insides of the birds were covered with festering sores and burns, due to high exposure to cadmium, arsenic, and copper. Even if these snow geese didn’t die, there would have been sublethal effects, in all likely hood, these geese would have suffered for the rest of their lives, for internal sores and disease.

Another bill government officials have introduced into legislation in the past year is The Responsible Electronics Recycling Act in an effort to make a difference in the world. This bill, if passed “would make it illegal to export toxic waste to developing countries” (Acaroglu) that do not contain proper disposal sites. In other words, the United States is trying to ensure that the waste it transports to these other countries isn’t going to become part of a toxic landfill, where its workers…

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 8.6 million people suffer from one serious illness or another, all caused by a product sold in local gas stations. The production and sale of cigarettes should be made illegal; it is outrageous that they’re even available. Cigarettes are a hazard to society, causing illness, death, and even in many cases killing children who never had the chance to live in the first place. Cigarettes are detrimental and should be made illegal because of…

The current and past agricultural practices in China have caused an environmental problem nationally and globally. Although there is clear evidence that something needs to be done to change China’s sustainability, there hasn’t been any action engineered that has successfully led to an acceptable level of health. China is known as one of the largest consumers and producers for many products, so its agricultural practices are not only important to China but also to those who depend on China for…

Does attention mean that much to someone? Is sexual pleasure really that important? These questions are popular when it comes to understanding the brain of serial killers. A serial killer is someone who has murdered three or more people over a period of more than a month, with a cooling-off period between murders (“56”). Your…
