On the Mechanism of Chloride Toxicity

چکیده
The sandculture experiment with chloride as a variable has provided an excellent opportunity for detailed examination of the effects of excessive chloride on bearing avocado trees. Hass avocado trees have been under chloride treatment for the past four years. A summary of the more practical considerations of investigation such as leaf symptoms, mineral nutrition, growth and fruit characteristics have been published in a recent issue of the California Avocado Society Yearbook (1967). The present report covers some of the more fundamental aspects of chloride toxicity the mechanism(s) of injury.

Acute Toxicity of Mercuric Chloride (HgCl2), Lead Chloride (PbCl2) and Zinc Sulfate (ZnSO4) on Silver Dollar Fish (Metynnis fasciatus)
Background: Since heavy metals can accumulate in the tissues of aquatic organisms, they can cause a range of hazardous effects which can become harmful to humans. The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of some heavy metals as potential dangerous substances by assessing the mortality effects of Mercuric Chloride (HgCl2), Lead Chloride (PbCl2) and Zinc Sulfate (ZnSO4) pollutan...
متن کاملInvestigation on Mechanism of Cordierite Formation from Nano Silica-Magnesium chloride-Reactive Alumina
Cordierite ceramics are used as refractory materials and kiln furnaces tools due to their very low coefficient of thermal expansion, high corrosion resistance and excellent thermal shock resistance. The aim of the present work was to synthesis of cordierite with raw materials including nano silica, magnesium chloride and reactive alumina. The synthesis procedure is done at solid state. Mechanis...
متن کاملAn empirical technique for prediction of nucleation mechanism and interfacial tension of potassium chloride nanoparticles
Prediction of the nucleation mechanism is one of the most critical factors in the design of a crystallization system. Information about the nucleation mechanism helps to control the size, shape, size distribution, and purity of the produced crystals. When the crystallization method is used for producing nanoparticles, the nucleation mechanism should be predicted. In this study, an empirical cor...
