Public Health and Safety

The fats stored in your body consist mostly of triglycerides, which are made up of three fatty acid molecules attached to a glycerol molecule. Triglycerides are the main form of fat stored in adipose tissue for energy storage and insulation.

Yes, mortar can be harmful if ingested because it can contain harmful chemicals such as lime, cement, or silica. Ingesting mortar can cause irritation, burning sensations, and stomach upset, so it is important to seek medical attention if consumed.

Place a carbon dioxide detector at about eye level on a wall for optimal detection, as CO2 is slightly lighter than air and will tend to rise. However, it is also important to consider the specific manufacturer's instructions for placement to ensure proper functioning.

There have been reported cases of pink tap water from the over treatment of the water by the utility dosing the water with too much potassium permanganate. Potassium permanganate is used to remove bad taste and odors in water, and when overused can yield a rosy shade of pink.

At low levels the material is benign. Higher levels (purple colour) should be reported to the utility and not consumed.

No, Basic Life Support and First Aid are not the same thing. Basic Life Support means the needs of our daily life, i. e food, clothes and a house to live in, but First Aid means the initial treatment given to an injured person till the doctor or ambulance doesn't arrive.

Hazards within 10-12 seconds in front of your vehicle could include sudden braking by the vehicle ahead, pedestrians crossing the street, animals on the road, or debris that could cause you to swerve or lose control. It's important to scan the road ahead and be prepared to react quickly to avoid potential dangers.

A component of the lymphatic system, bone marrow functions primarily to produce blood cells and to store fat. Bone marrow is highly vascular.

Yes, electricity can kill you. It had been used semi-frequently when executing prisoners in the States that were on death row. Depending on factors involved it can cause life-threatening irregular heart rhythms which can lead to a fatality.

At higher amounts of voltage it can have other drastic effects on the body.

There is no such thing as magnetic radiations. There are magnetic fields and there is electromagnetic radiation.

If you are concerned about magnetic fields you can distance yourself from the source of the magnetic field, or you can put yourself inside a Faraday box. The latter process is more effective, but prevents you from moving or interacting with anything outside the box.

Clean usable water can become toxic due to pollution from industrial waste, agricultural runoff, or chemicals like heavy metals or pesticides. Natural disasters such as oil spills or harmful algal blooms can also contaminate water sources and make them unsafe for consumption. Additionally, improper disposal of hazardous waste or sewage leakage can introduce harmful pathogens into the water supply.

5 feet is approximately 1.52 meters and 4 inches is about 0.1 meters. So, the total height is approximately 1.62 meters.

Gas lighting was dangerous because the gas used (such as coal gas) was highly flammable and could easily ignite, leading to fires and explosions. In addition, the gas was often stored under pressure, making leaks a common occurrence that could cause illness or asphyxiation.

Fire smoke is dangerous because it contains a combination of toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide, along with fine particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs. Inhaling these substances can cause respiratory problems, cardiovascular issues, and even death. Additionally, fire smoke can obscure visibility, making it difficult for people to escape from a burning building.

Eating plutonium can be extremely dangerous as it is a radioactive element that can emit harmful radiation, leading to serious health effects such as radiation sickness, organ damage, and an increased risk of developing cancer. Immediate symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. It is important to seek medical attention immediately if you suspect exposure to plutonium.

The organ system responsible for digestion is the digestive system. It includes organs like the stomach, small intestine, and liver that work together to break down food and absorb nutrients. Each organ has a specific role in the overall function of digesting food and extracting energy for the body.

This depends on many factors: your age, your general health, internal or external irradiation, quantity of plutonium ingested or inhaled, the chemical form of plutonium, the physical form of plutonium, the dose equivalent, etc.

But be sure that plutonium is very toxic and radioactive - it is an important danger without precautions.

You'll die. But I don't think you'll want to burn yourself since most people are afraid of hurting him/herself (cut, stabing, BURN). You may be burned or killed only if you've bean a bad person in this world.

DEP or direct etching, plastic, astrafoil ink was manufactured from the benzidine based azo dye "Direct Black 38" in an aniline liquid carrier. Other colored Azo dyes were also used. It was withdrawn and banned in the United States of America during the early 1960's due to health concerns and its relation to bladder cancer in draftmen using it.

Investigation during the 1980's of human exposure to the dye demonstrated certain metabolites were formed within 7 days after exposure which were isolated and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as:

benzidine, 4-aminobiphenyl, monoacetylbenzidine, and acetylaminobiphenyl. Formation of the deaminated and N-acetylated analogs of benzidine, which have enhanced mutagenicity and lipophilicity effect on the large intestine and could, in some cases, be related to the onset of bowel cancer in later life.

No, americium is radioactive and therefore not safe to touch. It can pose a risk of radiation exposure if handled without proper protection.

Fat is stored in the body in the form of triglycerides, which are made up of glycerol and three fatty acids. When we consume more calories than we burn, the excess calories are converted into triglycerides and stored in fat cells for later use as energy. Hormones like insulin and cortisol play a role in regulating the storage and release of fat in the body.

Plutonium is considered highly hazardous due to its radioactivity, as it emits alpha particles that can damage cells in the body and increase the risk of cancer. Ingesting or inhaling even small amounts of plutonium can be harmful, and proper safety protocols must be followed when handling this material to prevent exposure.

Here is a way from C to F that is easy to do in your head;

Say you see 28 C

Double that.. that makes it 56

Subtract 5 (actually 5.6, you are moving one decimal to the left..but leave the .6 off)

That gives you 51

Add 32

So 28 C = 83 F

(I have not found a similar way for F to C)

F= C/5X9+32= Celsius

C= F-32/9X5= Fahrenheit

Cutting off circulation to the arm can happen rapidly, within a few minutes, depending on the severity of the compression or injury. It is important to address the issue immediately to prevent tissue damage and potential long-term complications.
