Poisons and Toxins

I don't know when it was invented... probably in the first few years of WW1. I do know that it was first used in the battle of Ypres, 22 April - 25 May 1915. Although crude chemical warfare has been employed in many parts of the world for thousands of years (such as poisoned arrows or burning mustard gas balls.), "modern" chemical warfare began during World War I (see main article - Poison gas in World War I).[2] Initially, only well-known commercially available chemicals and their variants were used. These included chlorine and phosgene gas. The methods of dispersing these agents during battle were relatively unrefined and inefficient. Germany, the first side to employ chemical warfare on the battlefield,[3] simply opened canisters of chlorine upwind of the opposing side and let the prevailing winds do the dissemination. Soon after, the French modified artillery munitions to contain phosgene - a much more effective method that became the principal means of delivery.[4

Radiation poisoning can lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, weakness, and hair loss. In severe cases, it can cause damage to organs and tissues, leading to potentially life-threatening conditions. Treatment may include medication to help remove radioactive materials from the body and support for symptoms like dehydration and infections.

The poison ratio for S235JR EN10025 is typically around 0.25-0.30, and the Young's modulus is approximately 200 GPa. These values may vary slightly based on specific material compositions and processing conditions.

Yes, that milky white sap that comes out of the leaves can be poisonous if a lot is ingested. If the animal is throwing up or rapidly losing weight I would go to the vet, but I don't know if it's really life threatening.

they are so dangerous because if a child or pet swallows a lot, it is very bad for their health. this is with pets also because pets are like little children. they cannot understand what an adult, parent, or owner says. there are a lot of harmful chemicals in household poisons. so for your safety, your childs, and your pets, keep all household poisons away from you!

Some rat poisons may contain cyanide as an active ingredient, but not all rat poisons do. Cyanide can be a highly toxic substance that interferes with cellular respiration, leading to cell death. It is important to always use rat poisons as directed and keep them away from children and pets.

The detergent itself. A detergent is a molecule with a polar head and a non-polar tail. In interferes with the cell membrane and makes the plant cell unable to control what crosses the membrane.

Polonium is a highly radioactive substance that emits alpha particles, which can damage tissue and cells in the body. When ingested or inhaled, polonium can disrupt cell function, leading to organ failure and eventually death. It is a potent toxic substance that can be fatal in very small amounts due to its high radioactivity.

Cyanide is one type, and then there also Deadly Nightshade, or Belladonna. It may sometimes be used in tea as a sleeping remedy, but if given too much it can kill.

Commonly used poisons include arsenic, cyanide, strychnine, and ricin. These substances are toxic to humans and animals and can cause severe illness or death if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. It is important to handle these poisons with extreme caution and never use them for harmful purposes.

Yes, bromine is toxic and can be harmful to humans if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Symptoms of bromine poisoning can include irritation of the skin, eyes, nose, and throat, as well as respiratory issues and gastrointestinal problems. It is important to handle bromine with caution and proper safety measures.

Silicon is the second most abundant element in Earth's crust and is not considered toxic to humans. While silicon itself is not poisonous, certain compounds containing silicon, such as silicates, may cause irritation or other health issues if inhaled or ingested in large amounts.

Painfully. If you mean, how does it kill a human, according to a National Poison Control Service, the amount of rat/mouse poisoning needed to kill an adult human is so great that it would not "make sense." (as if any of this would!) Several boxes full would make an adult sick, but ingesting several boxes would be awfully hard to ingest.

The way in which rat poisoning kills mice or rats is through the same mechanism as Warfarin (used in humans under the brand name blood thinner, "Coumadin." These chemicals "thin" the blood and reduce its ability to clot. That is great news when trying to avoid a stroke or a heart attack, because the blood can "fit" through narrowed vessels, but bad news to a very small mammal, who, by eating enough of it, would bleed internally until it died. Even a large rat, though, weighs so little compared to a human, that the active poison in boxed rat/mouse poisoning would have little toxic effect. Dogs can get terribly messed up, though, as the stuff often seems tempting and tasty to them, so keep containers away from all pets.

An overdose of a Coumadin-type product, whether intentional or not, can seriously damage/kill a human. The result is similar to the way in which a hemophiliac would bleed internally, possibly leading to death. The remedy, if applied in time, is a combination of blood transfusions and vitamin K, which increases the clotting factor found in normal blood, that has been depleted by the poison. This is why ongoing testing must be done whenever anyone is on blood thinners, so the right amount can be administered and titrated.

Virology was birthed by the study of tobacco mosaic virus. It was discovered that the virus had the capacity to pass through a bacteria-retaining filter and needed a living cell in which to replicate.

one is oxygen .......... it can be considered as poison for it oxidizes things in our body continuously and produces free radicals that can cause aging ........... so in a crude sense Oxygen is a poison that we cant live without,,,,,, i must qote a 16th century alchemist " theres nothing in this world that's not a poison,,, its only the proportion that differentiates between a poison and a remedy"---

It should be spelled 'poisoned chalice'. A chalice is a drinking cup with a stand and stem such as used in religious ceremonies. So the term refers to being given a poisoned drink presented in an attractive looking vessel. The expression mean something that looked good when offer but turns out bad.

The new job turned out to be a poisoned chalice; the old marketing plan did not work and the new one was doomed to fail. Guess who got the sack!

Volatile poison refers to a toxic substance that is highly unstable and can easily evaporate or explode when exposed to certain conditions. It can be particularly dangerous due to its unpredictable nature and the potential for rapid diffusion through the air.

Not all bacteria are poisonous, but some pathogenic bacteria can produce toxins that cause food poisoning when ingested. These toxins can make people sick when they consume contaminated food. Proper food handling and cooking can help prevent food poisoning caused by bacterial contamination.

Yes, bleach can be poisonous if ingested or inhaled in large amounts. It is important to always use bleach in a well-ventilated area and to keep it out of reach of children and pets. If ingested or if there is exposure to bleach fumes, seek medical attention immediately.

For the most part stores use artificial plants, but in the cases where there are real live plants many large stores have their maintenance crews to keep them watered and fertilized. They also swap out the plants older plant with fresher ones on a regular basis. Some plant or nursery companies offer a service to large stores and office building where they feed, water and change out all the plants indoors.

Certain things are poisonous because when whatever you eat, inhale, drink, etc. has something on or in it that ones body cannot control, that "thing" takes over a cell and "gums" it up. After the cell or cells are gummed up, then they can't work and eventually die. Once a certain amount of cells die, so do you.
