What is the atropin used for?
Atropine is a medication used to treat various conditions such as slow heart rate, organophosphate poisoning, and to dilate the pupil during eye examinations. It works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the body.
What is the element used to make insecticides?
Phosphorus is a key element commonly used in the production of insecticides, particularly those in the organophosphate class. These compounds interfere with the nervous system of insects, effectively controlling pest populations. Additionally, elements like sulfur and chlorine are also utilized in various formulations of insecticides.
Content of tahong shells?
the major content comprising the shell of Perna viridis (the green lipped mussel or Asian green mussel) is no different than any other bivalve mollusk. Most of it is built out of calcium carbonate. The outer layer, or periostracum is mostly protein, basically an organic skin over the top of the shell (which gives the shell colour, and lays down the calcium carbonate to keep the shell growing). In addition to the calcium carbonate, there are trace minerals which are laid down in the shell. These trace minerals are gathered from the environment, and are rarely really intended to be in the shell, but are more or less impurities and contaminations in the content of the shell. Because these elements get laid down in the shell, the accumulation of them in the shell can be an indication of contamination in the environments that the bivalve was living in. Minerals such as lead, cadmium and zinc, or organophosphate pesticides and petroleum byproducts are easily detected in the shells, and make critters like Perna viridis useful as biological monitors of the health of an ecosystem. Testing the mineral content of their shells gives an indication not just of current conditions, but of the long term conditions and contaminations in a site. None of these minerals are major components of the shell - often being measured in the parts per billion - but are valuable for marine ecological studies.
How do organophosphate pesticides work?
Organophosphate pesticides attack the nervous system of insects and animals leading to death. These are dangerous.
Why does organophosphate poisoning cause muscular paralysis?
Why does oranophosphate poisoning cause muscular paralysis? Why does oranophosphate poisoning cause muscular paralysis?
How can you be exposed to nerve agents?
Both military nerve gases and organophosphate insecticides are nerve agents. It is highly unlikely you will be exposed to military nerve gases, unless you were near the front lines during a war in which they were used or you were trying to help treat wounded soldiers that had been exposed to them. Every time you use an organophosphate insecticide to kill pests you expose yourself too.
What products contain organophosphate?
Organophosphates are a wide range of products that act on an insects central nervous system. The vast majority of residual insecticides are organos.
What has the author R Derache written?
R. Derache has written: 'Organophosphorus pesticides' -- subject(s): Organophosphate Insecticides, Organophosphorus compounds, Pesticides, Toxicology
Is fiprinol an organophosphate?
No. It works by blocking the Chloride channels in nerve cells, causing over-excitation. Has a much higher affinity for insect than mammal Cl channels
A mysterious gas was released and your unit has been deployed to assist in the relief When you arrive you notice that some victims are drooling and others are coughing and vomiting what type of agent?
Organophosphate
Can you list all systemic insecticide brands?
Anything classified as an organophosphate. No one can list them all, but these effect an insect's nervous system. Orthene, anything containing pyrethrins, for example.
What medication is combined with mark1 or atnaa kit?
Atropine is combined with pralidoxime chloride to counteract organophosphate poisoning (used in some but not all modern nerve agents as well as insectocides).
Explain the mechanism by which organophosphate poisoning occurs?
I don't know how detailed an answer you want, but here's the overview:Organophosphates irreversibly bind to the enzyme acetycholinesterase. Acetylcholinesterase is responsible for breaking down acetylcholine in the body. Acetylcholine is part of the mechanism that causes muscle contractions. At normal bodily levels, this allows us to move, breathe, and digest food. However, if the enzyme that breaks it down (acetylcholinesterase) is chemically bound to something else (organophosphates) then acetylcholine builds up in the body. This can cause muscle spasms, nausea (if it affects the gastrointestinal tract), seizures, difficulty breathing (if it affects the muscles that control expansion and contraction of the lungs), among other things. If exposure levels are high enough, organophosphate poisoning will cause death. I know that some treatments for organophosphate poisoning exist, but I do not know what they are, or how effective they are.The body will continue to produce acetylcholinesterase, but if there are still unbound organophosphate molecules, they will take up this amount of enzyme as well, thus continuing the toxic effects even after exposure has been stopped.I hope this answered your question.
What is an organophosphate pesticide?
A pest-killer that contains organic compounds, includes phosphorus and operates neurotoxically describes an organophosphate pesticide. The pesticides in question functioned in nerve gases. They tend to be used nowadays as fire retardants and in insecticides, such as in mosquito abatement schedules in public parks, even though they disrupt messages from the brain to nerve endings and link to behavioral and emotional changes, cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory problems, permanent brain damage and premature births.
Does all poison affect humans?
No. Organophosphate pesticides kill insects not humans because humans can break them down. But other organophosphate poisons called nerve gases kill both insects and humans. This same effect is true for many other poisons, some organisms can break them down while others can't. Bacteria and some plants are killed by antibiotics that damage cell walls. But animals and fungi are unaffected by antibiotics as their cells lack cell walls.
