Arsenic Vs Cadmium Essay

Heavy metals are found toxic to humans as well as canines. Canines are much more susceptible to absorbing heavy metals than humans. One of the major effects of the heavy metals is reducing the metabolism in both humans and canines through accumulation of toxins. This experiment can provide evidence as to how much of the experimental toxin (arsenic and cadmium) affects cells’ metabolism when allowed to accumulate after 72 hours. In addition, different amounts of arsenic and cadmium (50 ppm, 100 ppm and 150 ppm) can also suggest the most harmful heavy such as arsenic or cadmium and its reaction time. This study will indicate that cadmium is much more harmful than arsenic in canine aortic endothelial cells. Cadmium is one of the most extremely toxic heavy metals when compared to arsenic. For both arsenic and cadmium, the endothelial cells of the canine will be significantly affected by 150 ppm than 50 ppm and 100 ppm. Arsenic and cadmium exposed to cells in the 150 ppm will accumulate much faster in the cells of the canine than 50 ppm, and 100 ppm. So, the cells exposed to 150 ppm arsenic and cadmium will have higher amounts of toxicity in the cells when compared to 50 ppm, and 100 ppm. In arsenic and cadmium, the 150 ppm would have significantly greater reduction in NAD+ level …show more content…
Both humans and canines are significantly affected by the heavy metals toxicity because they can alter the functions of organs and can also lead to death of an individual. It will be very useful to know how long does it take for the heavy metals to react with the cells upon exposure to the toxic and how detrimental its affects are, so the treatment could be started immediately. Since, heavy metals are found everywhere it is extremely important to know the amount of constant exposure to toxic and its accumulation can be damaging to cells. Both arsenic and cadmium are
