The production of linen, cotton, and hemp have the potential to be environmentally neutral when performed correctly. All too often, however, textile crop producers deploy toxic agricultural chemicals, which harm surrounding ecosystems. To ensure that your canvas is environmentally friendly, choose fabric...
gold or silver, but this metal is alsoneurotoxic, making imitation lamé a dangerous environmental contaminant. Imitation lamé also commonly features synthetic fiber cores instead of silk, and in addition to having poor biodegradability, most synthetic fibers are made using a cocktail of toxic ...
The mercury inside them is toxic, so if you break a bulb inside your home, there's a small risk to your health (and the mercury pollutes the landfill as well). Photo: CFLs are difficult to recycle, but don't just toss them in the trash: they contain toxic materials like mercury. ...
Cu is an essential nutrient for man, but can be toxic if intakes are too high. In sensitive populations, marginal over- or under-exposure can have detrimental effects. Malnourished children, the elderly and pregnant or lactating females may be susceptible for Cu deficiency. Cu status and exposur...
Limited data are available on metabolic responses of plants to copper (Cu)-toxicity. Firstly, we investigated Cu-toxic effects on metabolomics, the levels of free amino acids, NH4+-N, NO3--N, total nitrogen, total soluble proteins, total phenolics, lignin, reduced glutathione (GSH) and malond...
They are non-toxic to pets and humans. Perennial sunflowers come back year after year but annual types flower, set seed and die in one year. Did you know? Sunflowers are related to Jerusalem artichokes, Helianthus tuberosus. If you plant Jerusalem artichokes they will bear beautiful, sunflower...
Cells were concentrated by centrifugation and 3 μl aliquots of the cell suspension are applied to glow-discharged R2/2 200 mesh copper Quantifoil grids (Quantifoil Micro Tools), the sample was pre-blotted for 30 s, and then blotted for 2 s. Grids were pre-blotted and blotted at...
Rather, oncologists are trying to combat a dire situation (what they perceive as certain death from cancer) by using toxic methods that inflict dangerous collateral damage that also can be lethal. The same is happening in our atmosphere. Even the CEO of EXXON, in the documentary, “Do The ...
