Poisons and Toxins

To remove the kerosene smell from cleaning tapes adhesive off steel, you can try using white vinegar or baking soda mixed with water to clean the surface. You can also try leaving out containers of activated charcoal or coffee grounds in the area to absorb the odor. Proper ventilation of the area will also help dissipate the smell faster.

Lava (or any molten rock or metal). But strong acids or bases can be deadly (e.g. hydrochloric acid, ammonia) as can various poisons and venoms.

But the one that kills the most people annually is water.

When burned, dimethyl ether can produce toxic gases such as carbon monoxide and formaldehyde. Inhalation of these gases can be harmful to health, causing respiratory irritation and other adverse effects. It is important to handle and burn dimethyl ether in a well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to these toxic byproducts.

The most common inhaled poisons associated with fires are carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, and particulate matter. These substances can cause respiratory issues, neurological damage, and even death, depending on the level of exposure. It is important to evacuate and seek medical help if exposed to these toxins during a fire.

Depends entirely on the toxin. Asbestos, an integral part of older wallboard, can't be removed -- you need to have a trained crew strip out the board itself. Lead-based paint -- I *think* -- can be removed. If you accidentally spilled Ant Bait on your wall, you can wipe it off carefully yourself.

No way to answer this better without knowing the toxin and ideally the substrate or walling material.

there are many. 6 of them are sulfur, arsenic, lead, mercury, aluminum, and plutonium.

Yes, mercurochrome is toxic if ingested by humans. It contains mercury, which can be harmful when consumed. Ingestion of mercurochrome can lead to symptoms of mercury poisoning, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and kidney damage. It is important to seek medical attention immediately if mercurochrome is ingested.

Storing poisonous chemicals in milk cartons can lead to unintentional ingestion, as someone might mistake it for milk and consume it. This can result in serious harm or even death due to the toxic nature of the chemicals. It's important to always store chemicals in their original containers with proper labeling to prevent accidents.

An organic toxin is a harmful substance produced by living organisms, such as plants, animals, or bacteria, that can be toxic to other organisms. These toxins can cause adverse effects on biological systems, ranging from mild irritation to serious illness or death. Examples include poisons produced by certain mushrooms, venom from snakes, and toxins in some plants.

Pyrite itself is not poisonous. However, it can generate sulfuric acid when exposed to water or air, which can be harmful if ingested or inhaled. It is advised to handle pyrite with caution to avoid potential harm.

Ricin is a biological toxin that is cytotoxic. It is a protein found in the seeds of the castor oil plant and acts by inhibiting protein synthesis in cells, leading to cell death.

Enzymes can play a role in pathogenesis by helping pathogens invade host tissues, evade the immune system, and acquire nutrients. Toxins, on the other hand, cause damage to host cells or disrupt normal physiological processes to benefit the pathogen. Both enzymes and toxins are virulence factors that contribute to the pathogenicity of a microorganism.

Yes, poison can kill cells by disrupting cellular processes and structures. Toxic substances can damage cell membranes, interfere with vital biochemical pathways, and lead to cell death. Different poisons target specific cellular components and can cause irreversible damage if not treated promptly.

The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for metabolizing drugs and toxins through processes like oxidation and detoxification. Additionally, lysosomes contain enzymes that break down and neutralize foreign substances within the cell. Both organelles play crucial roles in protecting the cell from harmful compounds.

Acidic foods should not be stored in metal containers made of copper and aluminum due to the potential for a chemical reaction that can lead to the release of harmful substances into the food. This can affect the taste of the food and pose health risks. It is safer to use containers made of materials like glass or stainless steel for storing acidic foods.

Uranium is indeed toxic, primarily due to its radioactive properties. Exposure to uranium can cause a range of health problems, including kidney damage, increased cancer risk, and other long-term health effects. Handling uranium requires proper safety precautions to minimize exposure and potential health hazards.

Cyanide is effective as a poison because it disrupts the body's ability to use oxygen, leading to a rapid shutdown of cellular respiration and ultimately causing asphyxiation. It inhibits the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase, preventing cells from utilizing oxygen effectively, which can lead to organ failure and death within minutes. Additionally, cyanide is fast-acting and highly toxic, with only a small amount being lethal.

Pesticides are designed to kill or repel pests such as insects, weeds, or fungi that harm crops. They are considered "purposely poison" because their toxic properties are intentionally used to control these pests. When used properly and in accordance with regulations, pesticides can help protect crops and promote sustainable agriculture.

Probably. Terbium is known to bind with calcium-binding proteins that occur widely in the body and perform hundreds of functions. Lead, cadmium, and manganese poisoning are all linked to this same binding. Because calcium binding proteins are so common, it is difficult to predict what the symptoms of such poisoning would be.

Spray and Forget contains active ingredients like sodium hypochlorite and tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) which help break down and remove stains, mold, mildew, and algae from outdoor surfaces. It also contains surfactants and water to aid in the cleaning process.

A slow poison is a substance that causes harm to the body over an extended period of time. This can happen through gradual accumulation or deterioration of bodily functions. Slow poisons can work by disrupting vital processes in the body, leading to illness or eventual organ failure.

Yes, but it isn't recommend to find out the hard way!

The most obvious example is with the poison secreted by bees when they sting. Some people have an allergic reaction to the sting. This is a misnomer, because we are ALL allergic to bee stings, or more accurately, to the poisonous secretion. It would be more correct to state that most people have a built-in, genetic resistance to the poison, and some people do not (thus the violent reaction some people have).

The same can be said for many poisons in smaller doses. The Environmental Protection Agency (in the US) sets limits for how much of a poisonous substance can be in our air and water while still be considered "safe"; that is, below the level of our resistance or immunity.

Basically some poison contain expiration date and some are not. This is to direct the consumer about the effectively of the product. The expired poison is still poisonous but the grade is lesser. Furthermore expired poison contained more hideous consequences when accidentally induced

The smallest revenge can poison the soul by festering negative emotions such as anger, resentment, and bitterness. Over time, holding onto these feelings can eat away at one's peace of mind and well-being, leading to a sense of emptiness and unhappiness.

Yes, obsidian has a toxic poison that can make you very sick and/or kill you, if you get it in your body and don't go to the hospital. If you get obsidian in your body, I suggest you call 911. And don't play with it either.
