Theobromine poisoning

environment today exists as a result of human activity. When young children are exposed to lead, it can enter the bloodstream and cause a myriad of negative health effects that can affect them for the rest of their lives, as the consequences of lead poisoning are often irreversible (National Center for Healthy Housing, 2008). Based on a child’s level of exposure, they could experience hyperactivity, impaired brain and organ development, low IQ, reading disabilities, and in some cases, coma and…

To start we will be looking at blood’s role in distribution of lead. Blood plays a major role in the distribution of lead even though it has a tendency to carry a small fraction of the total amount of lead present in a body. This is due to the fact that blood is constantly circulating and coming into contact every single part of the human body. Lead found within the blood system on average has a half life nearing only 1 month. Next is distribution and storage through the accumulation of many…

One of the qualities of lead that make it one of the most highly studied heavy metals is its ability to enter and distributes into the body’s organ systems. Inorganic lead is absorbed by coming into contact with the skin, ingestion, and inhalation.* It is debated whether ingestion of lead or inhalation of lead caused the most significant damage and which one occurs more frequently. The physiological effects of lead can be seen soon after exposure. The uptake of lead in the body is influenced by…

Products made with this recycled lead find their way to international markets and industrialized countries (AAAS, 2013). Some countries still use leaded fuel for vehicles and thusly have an increase in the BLL in the population (GLASS, 2014). With the use of lead in industrialized countries and lack of regulation or protection in developing countries, the problem of lead exposure is a worldwide concern. National Issue Lead exposure damage effects the population of the United States. With median…

These case studies are all correlated into one huge complex scale, the article Scale and cross-scale dynamics: governance and information in a multilevel world sums up all the articles. It illustrated evidence that dynamic linkages across levels are more successful in assessing problems and finding solutions that are more politically and ecologically sustainable. Which can be associated with all the articles because in some way each issue that they addressed was involved in different elaborate…

Then you see it turns into a yucky brown color. You think it’s still okay, but it’s not. The Flint water crisis is a tragedy where the governor of Flint made a mistake by not telling one of the poorest cities in the U.S. , Flint, Michigan about lead in their water. If we are going to help the residents of…

Radiation is often seen by individuals as a substance that is rare and uncommon. Others believe that it only comes from nuclear bombs. However, that isn’t the case. It is found in everything from the soils that people walk on every day, to the walls and floors inside their homes. There’s radiation found in food and water that are consumed by people on a day-to-day basis. It is found within the gases inside the Earth’s atmosphere, and from cosmic rays from space ("Radiation in Everyday Life").…
