Toxin

released into the body, causing damage to lung tissue, mucus glands and other parts of the respiratory system. The first time the person smokes, their lungs may repair themselves, but may fail to do so due to the continual use and intake of all these toxins which damages the cells and prevents them from repairing and regenerating. Smoking can cause many different types of respiratory diseases; two of which, are emphysema and chronic bronchitis. In emphysema, the air spaces within the lungs…

diseases are common cold, influenza, Ebola, measles, rubella, AIDS to name a few. Pathogen bacteria release toxins and cause diseases, for instance Vibrio cholera release toxins that cause cells to pump out ions and water by active transport so that the infected dies of dehydration. Others produce enzymes that break down cells or damage the immune system. 8 Fungi damage the tissue by secreting toxins or producing allergic reactions. Athlete’s foot and, oral and vaginal thrush are examples of…

in an aquatic ecosystem(Nutrient pollution- eutrophication, 2008). Other than triggering toxic algae blooms such as red tides or brown tides, eutrophication can encourage the growth of Pfiesteria, which is a single-celled organism that can release toxins into the water that can cause bleeding sores on the fish and eventually kill…

healthy liver tissue is replaced with scar tissue, eventually preventing the liver from functioning properly. The scar tissue blocks the flow of blood through the liver and slows the processing of nutrients, hormones, drugs, and naturally produced toxins. It also slows the production of proteins and other substances made by the…

commercially or even kept by beekeepers as a hobby are more likely to have a limited plant diversity to work with (possibly just a single crop), and this can lead to nutrition deficiencies, and subsequent weakened immune systems. • Pesticides – These nasty toxins have been wiping out insects ever since we started using DDT in 1939. Neonicotinoids, nicotine-based pesticides, have been specifically linked to the collapse of bee colonies. In fact, here’s a rather recent article that connects…

that vaccines carry toxins in them. As a result, a certain population gets side effects through receiving vaccines. According to CDC data, there were 30,000 cases of adverse reactions per year in 2015. The stories of those individuals harms through vaccines are…

expand and develop. However, construction work can take a toll on the environment and the community around it. Air, water, and noise pollution are the three main pollutants that affect the environment and community. Air pollution mainly comes from the toxins emitted by the construction equipment. According to the US EPA Clean Air Act Advisory Committee, “A single bulldozer engine can emit as much particulate matter as more than 500 cars”(Construction equipment, 2015). Construction equipment…

This organ system is one that is often over looked. The urinary system removes toxins from the blood and maintains the acid-base balance of the body. This system regulates the chemical composition, volume, and electrolyte balance of the blood. The urinary system works in with the respiratory, integumentary, and digestive organs to eliminate waste. Reflexology supports and enhances the urinary system by removing toxins that help reestablish balance. In this paper, I will go over three…

THE ROLE OF ELONGATION FACTORS IN GENE TRANSLATION AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS. Professor Kinzy’s lab seeks to investigate the structure and function of G- protein in relation to it’s regulation and the post transcriptional processes associated with gene expression. The lab uses Translation Elongation apparatus found in yeast to investigate these processes. The components of these elongation factors are important targets for antibacterial and antifungal drugs such that improper expressions and…

Persico’s study is reportedly the first large-scale study of cognitive and developmental effects of living near Superfund sites. The study shows that Superfund cleanup has significant positive effects on long-term cognitive and developmental outcomes for children. Persico reports that the Superfund program would pay for itself in 38 years “in terms of reduced special education costs for specific learning disabilities alone” (Persico, 2016) Recently, President Trump proposed over a 30% decrease…
