There are also relatively large differences in the sensitivities and effects of toxicants between individuals of the same species. Fetuses,neonates, and infants are more sensitive to theneurotoxiceffects of lead than older individuals, because lead interferes with the development of the central nervous...
Highly saline water may furnish enough minerals to be considered in dietary mineral formulations. And salt content of the diet may contribute to the toxicity of saline water, particularly if salt is added to control feed intake. Generally, water should not normally be relied upon as a source on...

Groundwater, particularly in the shallow zone aquifer is an easily available source of freshwater that serves various needs of people around it. Due to rapid growth in the industrial sector, the shallow groundwater regime becomes vulnerable to industrial toxicity and human activity. In the case of...
Ingestion of nitrates in drinking water poses a threat to infants and young children, whose digestive systems convert nitrates to nitrites, which can bind to hemoglobin and reduce the blood’s oxygen-carrying ability. In severe cases, this can lead to potentially fatal “blue baby syndrome.” Be...
As shown in the results, the Sr was in the concentration range of 0.005–3.11 mg/L with a mean value of 0.360 mg/L. There were significant differences in the Sr concentration in different regions; in general, it was high in the north and low in the south. The Sr intakes of infants,...
Nitrate ions (NO3-) may cause methaemoglobinaemia in infants (children less than 6 months old).硝酸盐离子(NO3-)可能引起婴儿(6个月以下的儿童)高铁血红蛋白血症。The concentration of nitrate in drinking water is often limited to<10 or<50 mg litre-1; if this condition is not met, alternative...

The toxicity of these isolates was comparable with that of highly toxic Thai clones. No significant difference in toxin components or their proportions was observed between Japanese and Thai strains. The optimum growth temperature of both strains was around 25 °C. Japanese strains survived at 15 ...
It is classified into the medium priority category due to its moderate concentration level, high reported frequency, and high toxicity. The TCNM is the first species among HNMs that was identified in drinking water (Le Roux et al., 2011). However, the toxicological data of TCNM is still ...
