Metalloids in Biology : From Function to Toxicity
Metalloids belong to class of elements that exhibit physiochemical characteristics intermediating between those of metals and non-metals.Some are quasi-essential for the overall growth and development of plants.Silicon, for instance, enhances plant structural integrity, while boron is crucial for cell wall formation, and selenium acts as an antioxidant but some are toxic like germanium (Ge) and arsenic (As) as they threaten the soil ecosystem and human health.Metalloid toxicity hinges on their cellular concentrations where low levels aid plant development whereas high levels cause harmful effects.Thus, it is crucial to encompass the underlying detoxification mechanisms behind metalloid uptake by root system, their transport to other tissues and their redistribution within and between cells.This book provides the comprehensive elucidation of the valuable insights of metalloids in green agriculture emphasizing management strategies to mitigate their adverse effects through various detoxification pathways including cell complexation, cell wall binding, efflux, vacuolar sequestration and ultimately redistribution.Key features:1.Explores databases of metalloid distribution in plants and other habitats. 2.Deliberates about metalloid transporters and detoxification strategies in plants. 3. Describes interaction of metalloids with microbes and their impact on eco physiology. 4. Unravels the mysteries of metalloid stress in plants by using multi-omics approaches. 5. Covers biological applications of metalloids in sustainable agricultural practices and in human health.This book is aimed to give updated and scientific insights to readers and researchers associated with plant stress physiology, agricultural sciences and environmentalist working for well-being of environment.Apart from these, the present book will also be boon for scientists, farmers, teachers and undergraduate and post graduate students as it provides detailed account of distribution, biochemistry, detoxification mechanisms and biological applications of metalloids.

'How do I get rid of toxicity?'
To get rid of toxicity, it is important to first identify the sources of negativity in your life, whether it be toxic relationships, environments, or habits. Once you have identified these sources, take steps to distance yourself from them and set boundaries to protect your mental and emotional well-being. Surround yourself with positive influences, practice self-care, and engage in activities that bring you joy and peace. It may also be helpful to seek support from a therapist or counselor to work through any underlying issues contributing to the toxicity in your life.

When do yew needles lose their toxicity?
Yew needles lose their toxicity when they are dried or wilted. The toxic compounds in yew needles, such as taxine alkaloids, break down and become less potent as the needles age. However, it is important to note that even dried yew needles can still be toxic if ingested, so caution should always be taken when handling or using yew plants.

What is the difference between toxicity and radioactivity?
Toxicity refers to the ability of a substance to cause harm or damage to living organisms when it is ingested, inhaled, or comes into contact with the skin. This harm can be caused by chemical reactions within the body or by disrupting normal biological processes. On the other hand, radioactivity refers to the emission of radiation from an unstable atomic nucleus. This radiation can cause damage to living organisms by ionizing atoms and molecules in the body, leading to potential health risks such as cancer or genetic mutations. While both toxicity and radioactivity can be harmful to living organisms, they operate through different mechanisms.
-
When do dead thuja plants lose their toxicity?
Dead thuja plants lose their toxicity gradually over time as they decompose. As the plant breaks down, the toxic compounds within it break down as well, reducing their potency. It is important to handle dead thuja plants with caution until they have fully decomposed to avoid any potential toxicity.

Toxic Timescapes : Examining Toxicity across Time and Space
An interdisciplinary environmental humanities volume that explores human-environment relationships on our permanently polluted planet. While toxicity and pollution are ever present in modern daily life, politicians, juridical systems, media outlets, scholars, and the public alike show great difficulty in detecting, defining, monitoring, or generally coming to terms with them.This volume’s contributors argue that the source of this difficulty lies in the struggle to make sense of the intersecting temporal and spatial scales working on the human and more-than-human body, while continuing to acknowledge race, class, and gender in terms of global environmental justice and social inequality. The term toxic timescapes refers to this intricate intersectionality of time, space, and bodies in relation to toxic exposure.As a tool of analysis, it unpacks linear understandings of time and explores how harmful substances permeate temporal and physical space as both event and process.It equips scholars with new ways of creating data and conceptualizing the past, present, and future presence and possible effects of harmful substances and provides a theoretical framework for new environmental narratives.To think in terms of toxic timescapes is to radically shift our understanding of toxicants in the complex web of life. Toxicity, pollution, and modes of exposure are never static; therefore, dose, timing, velocity, mixture, frequency, and chronology matter as much as the geographic location and societal position of those exposed.Together, these factors create a specific toxic timescape that lies at the heart of each contributor’s narrative.Contributors from the disciplines of history, human geography, science and technology studies, philosophy, and political ecology come together to demonstrate the complex reality of a toxic existence.Their case studies span the globe as they observe the intersection of multiple times and spaces at such diverse locations as former battlefields in Vietnam, aging nuclear-weapon storage facilities in Greenland, waste deposits in southern Italy, chemical facilities along the Gulf of Mexico, and coral-breeding laboratories across the world.

Drug-Like Properties : Concepts, Structure Design and Methods from ADME to Toxicity Optimization
Of the thousands of novel compounds that a drug discovery project team invents and that bind to the therapeutic target, only a fraction have sufficient ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination) properties, and acceptable toxicology properties, to become a drug product that will successfully complete human Phase I clinical trials.Drug-Like Properties: Concepts, Structure Design and Methods from ADME to Toxicity Optimization, Second Edition, provides scientists and students the background and tools to understand, discover, and develop optimal clinical candidates.This valuable resource explores physiochemical properties, including solubility and permeability, before exploring how compounds are absorbed, distributed, and metabolized safely and stably.Review chapters provide context and underscore the importance of key concepts such as pharmacokinetics, toxicity, the blood-brain barrier, diagnosing drug limitations, prodrugs, and formulation.Building on those foundations, this thoroughly updated revision covers a wide variety of current methods for the screening (high throughput), diagnosis (medium throughput) and in-depth (low throughput) analysis of drug properties for process and product improvement.From conducting key assays for interpretation and structural analysis, the reader learns to implement modification methods and improve each ADME property. Through valuable case studies, structure-property relationship descriptions, and structure modification strategies, Drug-Like Properties, Second Edition, offers tools and methods for ADME/Tox scientists through all aspects of drug research, discovery, design, development, and optimization.

Mixture Toxicity : Linking Approaches from Ecological and Human Toxicology
In the last decade and a half, great progress has been made in the development of concepts and models for mixture toxicity, both in human and environmental toxicology.However, due to their different protection goals, developments have often progressed in parallel but with little integration.Arguably the first book to clearly link ecotoxicology and classic human toxicology, Mixture Toxicity: Linking Approaches from Ecological and Human Toxicology incorporates extensive reviews of exposure to toxicants, toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics, toxicity of mixtures, and risk assessment. The book examines developments in both fields, compares and contrasts their current state of the art, and identifies where one field can learn from the other.Each chapter provides an essential overview of the state of the art in both human and ecotoxicological mixture risk assessment, focusing on the work published in the last fifteen years.The coverage progresses from exposure to risk assessment, at each step identifying the special complications typically raised by mixtures.Based on in-depth discussions among specialists representing different disciplines and approaches, the chapters each address: Exposure — how to quantify the amounts of chemicals that may enter the living organism Kinetics, dynamics, and metabolism — how the chemicals enter an organism, travel within the organism, how they are metabolized and reach the target site, and explain development of toxicity with time Toxicity — what are the chemicals’ detrimental effects on the organism Test design and complex mixture characterization — how chemicals interact, how to measure effects of mixtures, and how to identify responsible chemicals Risk assessment — how to assess for risks in humans and the environmentAn unusual combination of different points of view on exposure to and risk assessment of chemical mixtures, this book summarizes current knowledge on combined effects of toxicant mixtures, information that is generally only available in a very fragmented form as individual journal papers.It identifies possible crosslinks and includes recommendations for mutual developments that can improve the state of knowledge on mixture toxicity and ultimately lead to better and more integrated risk assessment.

Which substances were used for years or even decades despite their unconscious toxicity?
For years or even decades, substances such as lead, asbestos, and certain pesticides were used despite their unconscious toxicity. Lead was commonly used in products such as paint, gasoline, and pipes, leading to widespread environmental and health issues. Asbestos was used in construction materials for its fire-resistant properties, but it was later found to cause serious lung diseases. Additionally, certain pesticides such as DDT were widely used before their harmful effects on the environment and wildlife were fully understood. These substances were eventually banned or heavily regulated once their toxicity became known.

What are the risks of oxygen toxicity when pre-breathing pure oxygen in a pressure suit for U2 pilots?
The main risk of oxygen toxicity for U2 pilots pre-breathing pure oxygen in a pressure suit is the potential for developing central nervous system (CNS) oxygen toxicity. This can lead to symptoms such as visual disturbances, nausea, twitching, and seizures, which can be dangerous during flight. Prolonged exposure to high levels of oxygen can also cause lung damage and respiratory issues. Therefore, it is crucial for U2 pilots to carefully monitor their oxygen levels and follow proper pre-breathing protocols to minimize the risk of oxygen toxicity.
