Essentially deadly: living with toxic elements
A ll transition metals are highly toxic to life at low levels, but at the same time some, such as manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc and molybdenum, are essential micronutrients needed to catalyse key enzymatic reactions. To survive, living organisms have had to evolve mechanisms that either remove such metals from their bodies or detoxify and make use of them metabolically. Many of ...

متن کاملToxic Elements in Soils
MAMMALS and birds sometimes seek shelter or nesting sites in the ground. Many of them scarcely affect the soil as a medium for plant growth. A notable exception is the soil-dwelling rodents. Although their acreweight is usually only about a few pounds even in the uncultivated land, their soil transporting activities sometimes are considerable. In building their tunnels and nests, they transport...
متن کاملThe living elements
In his Anatomie generale, Bichat compared his twenty-one organic elements to the thirty-three elements of chemistry Lavoisier had described in his Traite elementaire de chimie of 1789. The simple bodies of chemistry, he wrote, are caloric, light, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and so on. The simple bodies or tissues of anatomy are (1) the cellular membrane, (2) the nerves of th...
متن کاملInteraction of engineered nanoparticles with toxic and essential elements
Interaction of engineered nanoparticles with toxic and essential trace elements must be taken into consideration when estimating risks of NPs presented in the natural environment. The purpose of this work was to study the possible influence of silica, titanium dioxide (rutile) and fullerenol NPs on the toxicity of cadmium and to research the status of some trace elements and related indices of ...
