Hydrazine is widely used in industrial and agricultural activities such as fuel cells, rocket propellants, explosives, antioxidants, corrosion inhibitor, insecticides and plant growth regulators.1,2 Although hydrazine possesses significant applications, it can raise potential threat to the living things because hydrazine is a toxic material which can be served as neurotoxin, carcinogenic and hepatoxic substance.3 Besides that, the exposure of high level of hydrazine can cause irritation to nose, eye, throat, dizziness, nausea, temporary blindness, pulmonary edema and coma, which will eventually endanger the liver, kidneys and central nervous system of humans.4 Therefore, it has been realized that, the effective and sensitive sensing methods

The mass percent of water was determined using the mass of water and dividing it by the total mass of the hydrate and then multiplying that answer by 100%. The number of moles of water in a hydrate was determined by taking the mass of the water released and dividing it by the molar mass of water. The number of moles of water and the number of moles of the hydrate was used to calculate the ratio of moles of water to moles of the sample. This ratio was then used to write the new and balanced equation of the dehydration process. The sample was then rehydrated to the original state and the percent of the hydrate recovered was calculated by using the mass of the rehydrated sample by
Since 2008, synthetic drugs have created a trend that both authorities and health care officials are struggling to contain. Right here in the Southern Tier, Bath Salts have become the biggest drug issue in Steuben County.
What has been brought to light in recent years is the effects of these chemicals on the body’s immune response. By introducing these toxic chemicals into the body, the potency of the immune system is compromised. More commonly than not, the body’s magnificent defense system will kick in and destroy foreign invaders but all it can take is an overwhelming amount of chemicals to slow or even shut down the body’s response systems. A large amount of these types of chemicals introduced into the body at one time would be considered acute toxicity and could even cause death. Additionally, a small amount of these poisonous substances brought into the body over a long period would be considered chronic toxicity and can have detrimental effects on the body’s natural response (Hoernschemeyer 55-57). This information is startling enough to want to make a change from conventionally grown food to pesticide-free organic
Bath salts and spice, a relatively new drug trend that has been exponentially been popular due to its cheap availability, easy production, and borderline legality. These drugs are often described as synthetic since the drugs can be easily homemade and requiring not much difficulty to get tools for. Law enforcement are always actively trying to keep up with the creation of these synthetic drugs due to bypassing loopholes within the law. However, with one successful investigation of an illegal drug being confiscated, another drug will shortly takes its place.
There are many types of chemical agents that can be used for a variety of effects. Most are not meant to be lethal, but most chemicals at high concentrations can be lethal.
For years, African woman have been the prime consumers of chemical relaxers. We all have experienced similar outcome from the substance. The main result we love most about it is that our hair is so easy to manage and is straighter without our natural curl pattern appearing. Even though we lust to have straight and manageable hair, we neglect to actually think about what this substance is doing to our hair, better yet our bodies and children. So, by questing that, I would like to share the benefits and non-beneficial effects of the chemical relaxer, and introduce the other alternatives for straight hair because women need to completely stop using chemical relaxer and open her mind to a safer and natural
The most well-known drug for the treatment of intractable hiccups (singultus) is chlorpromazine. In the United States, this is the only agent approved for this indication, meaning that all other drugs are used off-label. Chlorpromazine is started in a low dose (25 mg 3–4 times/d) and the dose can be increased when side effects allow it. If symptoms persist for 2–3 days, 25–50 mg may be given IM. If the hiccups continue, 25–50 mg of the drug may be administered by slow IV infusion (keeping patient in supine position). Blood pressure should be closely monitored during IV administration of chlorpromazine. Common side effects are drowsiness and sleepiness and, more rarely but
Since Duromine is not available for sale everywhere, dieters should exercise extreme caution when looking at Duromine online. Many websites claim to sell the drug, often with phrases like “prescription-free” and “significantly reduced price” attached. Such websites are likely to be scams selling imitation products. If their drugs do, in fact, contain phentermine, they are not regulated by the FDA and could be
Amantadine was originally developed in the 1960’s for prophylaxis against Asian influenza and influenza type-A respiratory infections. While it is no longer recommended for this purpose, it is currently FDA-approved as an anti-parkinsonian drug. It is particularly effective in reducing drug-induced dyskinesias in patients with Parkinson’s disease. It also has several off-label uses, including: treatment of cocaine withdrawal symptoms, treatment of several psychiatric disorders in children and adults, assisting in functional recovery of TBI patients, and treatment of multiple sclerosis associated fatigue. There are several cases in the literature which describe reversible corneal edema caused by amantadine. Discontinuation of amantadine
We all know bath salts are used to make bath time soothing and fun for all. Bath salts should be put to use only for bath time. Did you know that those sweet smelling little rocks had a dark side. That dark side, however, is bath salts is a drug once its inside our bodies.
Biogenic amines formation in food is objectionable due to their ability to have a direct or indirect effect on the human vascular and nervous systems. Toxicological effects such as hypertension, headache, diarrhea, rash and localized inflammation may be developed due to biogenic amines and when ingested in extreme amounts, cardiac palpitation, intracerebral haemorrhage and even death in very severe cases (Rawles et al., 1996). Biogenic amines are considered precursors of carcinogenic amines such as N-nitrasosamines, and they also used as indicators of food decomposition (Mietz and Karmas, 1978). Histamine represents the major and the main cause of scombroid (histamine) poisoning, and the other biogenic amine such as tyramine, cadaverine, and putrescine, acts as potentiates of histamine toxicity (Taylor, 1988; AlBulushi et al., 2009; Joshi and Bhoir, 2011).
A by-product of heroin synthesis called 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) has been identified as a factor of inducing syndromes of Parkinson’s disease in humans (Bin Liu, 2003). Another study suggested that degeneration of MPTP may be caused by oxidative stress (Du-Chu Wu*, 2002). Dopaminergic neurotoxicity has been reported in animals and thus predicted as a risk to humans. Paraquat is a highly toxic pesticide that is used as an herbicide that targets weed and grass control. It is not supposed to have a human counterpart. However, there has been evidence that says that exposure to paraquat is indeed correlated with the development of PD. (Bin Liu, 2003). A lethal dose of paraquat for a human is said to be 2.5 grams [14]. Research within the last ten years has
