Document Summary
What was a common thread behind these disasters (poor safety practices) How was the cause ultimately confirmed: definitions of toxin, toxicant, poison, xenobiotic, ld50, lc50, loael, noael, A nocebo effect: how can rate of elimination impact toxicity, describe the three potential types of chemical interaction. How is it related to polarity/lipophilicity: explain the first-pass effect. I, phase ii: two reasons why infants may be more susceptible to toxicants, can biotransformation increase toxicity, describe the major and minor routes of excretion. Disadvantages: understand the how to evaluate studies?" slide, i may give you a short study to evaluate. Lecture 5: give 1 example of: major toxic metal, essential metal with potential for toxicity, minor. What are the iarc carcinogenicity classifications: describe bioaccumulation, biomagnification. Why would you find more of the lower chlorinated pcb congeners in the lungs: did the mass acute pcb poisonings in japan and taiwan provide strong evidence for.
