Toxics reduction aims at reduced releases of toxic substances. Toxics use reduction (TUR) has been advocated as a simple and effective method of reducing toxic pollution. Here we analyse five cases of process modifications given by companies as examples of toxics reduction. All of the companies ...
What is geoengineering and what are examples of it? (a) What elements (beneficial or harmful) enter the human body from soils by the way of the food crops that we consume? (b) What are the pathways of these substances? Define pollution and mention the different types of pollution. What ...
Briefly explain what Airborne Hazards are and provide some examples of how one may get exposed to an airborne hazard.PollutionPollution denotes the addition of pollutants to the environment. The pollutants may be solids, liquids, and air. The harmful ...

The levels of these substances in vegetables are influenced by the nature of soil in which the vegetables are grown. The effect of applied nitrogen fertilizer on the levels of some antinutrients and toxic substances is investigated with a view to determine the appropriateness or otherwise of the ...
from their academic interest, some of these compounds have direct implications in public health (for example the well-known tetrodotoxin and saxitoxin), in agriculture (blasticidin S and peramine), and in medicinal chemistry (the bleomycins and the argiopin-like spider toxins are some examples)....
Acidification, antibiotics, detergents, surfactants, and metal plating are a few examples of modifica- tions. Although NPs are seen as a viable approach to ensuring safety in agriculture and agrifood [84]. 3.1.1 Antioxidants Plants are rich sources of natural antioxidants, numerous biological...
Epibatidine and phantasmidine are prime examples. They may be lethal, but they also both numb pain. They act on the same receptors on our brain cells that respond to nicotine. You wouldn't give phantasmidine to someone who's in pain, but by studying its structure and chemistry it may be...
What are examples of some carcinogens and what cancers can they lead to? How much do environmental factors affect cancer rates? Can these be mitigated? Describe different impacts of CO on human health at different exposure levels (from low exposures to high exposure levels). In what ways c...
Cancer is defined as a group of diseases that are a result of abnormal cellular growth and functioning. These abnormal cells are called cancer cells. There are several stages and types of cancer. Some of the examples of cance...
