Toxicity of Mercury Vapor to Germinating Tobacco Seeds.
A study of the results of the observations shows that there was a marked difference in the behavior of the stomata of plants grown with and without irrigation, and of the stomata of those grown with various amounts of irrigation. Stomata of non-irrigated plants opened but little, and only early in the morning, while the stomata of plants with a sufficient water supply were fully open throughout...
متن کاملMercury toxicity
Mercury is a metal found in elemental, organic, and inorganic forms in the nature. This substance is present in the composition of earth crust, soil, air, and even in some tissues of plants and sea animals. Each year nearly 3400 tons of mercury compounds are released in the environment, which 95% settle in the soil, 3% in the oceans, and 2% in the atmosphere. Different industrial products li...

متن کاملMechanisms of phthalate ester toxicity in the female reproductive system.
Phthalates are high-production-volume synthetic chemicals with ubiquitous human exposures because of their use in plastics and other common consumer products. Recent epidemiologic evidence suggests that women have a unique exposure profile to phthalates, which raises concern about the potential health hazards posed by such exposures. Research in our laboratory examines how phthalates interact w...
متن کاملChronic Exposure to Diquat Causes Reproductive Toxicity in Female Mice
Diquat is a bipyridyl herbicide that has been widely used as a model chemical for in vivo studies of oxidative stress due to its generation of superoxide anions, and cytotoxic effects. There is little information regarding the toxic effects of diquat on the female reproductive system, particularly ovarian function. Thus, we investigated the reproductive toxic effects of diquat on female mice. C...
