What has the author EG Adamek written?
E.G Adamek has written: 'A two-year survey of benzo(a)pyrene and benzo(k)fluoranthene in urban atmospheres in Ontario' -- subject(s): Air, Benzo(a)pyrene, Benzo(k)fluoranthene, Benzopyrene, Environmental aspects, Environmental aspects of Benzopyrene, Environmental aspects of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, Measurement, Pollution, Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
What are the uses of the benzopyrene nucleus?
The benzopyrene nucleus is commonly found in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and has been linked to causing DNA damage, mutations, and cancer. It is often used in research to study the effects of environmental pollutants and carcinogens on living organisms.
How many rings are found in benzpyrene?
Benzopyrene contains five fused carbon rings. Specifically, it is composed of four benzene rings and one cyclopentane ring, arranged in a specific configuration. This structure contributes to its classification as a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH).
Is benzopyrene an oxidizing mutagenic agent?
Benzo[a]pyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and a known carcinogen that can be metabolized into reactive intermediates capable of forming DNA adducts. These adducts can lead to mutations, making benzo[a]pyrene a mutagenic agent. Oxidation can also play a role in the metabolic activation of benzo[a]pyrene, but it is not the primary mechanism for its mutagenicity.
What dangers are posed by gas flaring?
Flaring is a way to burn off excess natural gas during oil production, but the process effectively wastes a natural resource while simultaneously emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Oil refinery flare stacks may emit methane and other volatile organic compounds as well as sulfur dioxide and other sulfur compounds, which are known to exacerbate asthma and other respiratory problems. Other emissions include, aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, xylene) and benzopyrene. Gas flaring is related to acid rain, crop failure, water pollution and a decline in the populations of many species of animals.

What happens if you smoke?
The effects of smoking on human health are serious and in many cases, deadly. There are approximately 4,000 chemicals in cigarettes, hundreds of which are toxic. The ingredients in cigarettes affect everything from the internal functioning of organs to the efficiency of the body's immune system. The effects of cigarette smoking are destructive and widespread. Smoking Effects on the Human BodyToxic ingredients in cigarette smoke travel throughout the body, causing damage in several different ways.Nicotine reaches the brain within 10 seconds after smoke is inhaled. It has been found in every part of the body and in breast milk.Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, preventing affected cells from carrying a full load of oxygen.Cancer-causing agents (carcinogens) in tobacco smoke damage important genes that control the growth of cells, causing them to grow abnormally or to reproduce too rapidly.The carcinogen benzopyrene binds to cells in the airways and major organs of smokers.Smoking affects the function of the immune system and may increase the risk for respiratory and other infections.There are several likely ways that cigarette smoke does its damage. One is oxidative stress that mutates DNA, promotes atherosclerosis, and leads to chronic lung injury. Oxidative stress is thought to be the general mechanism behind the aging process, contributing to the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and COPD.The body produces antioxidants to help repair damaged cells. Smokers have lower levels of antioxidants in their blood than do nonsmokers.Smoking is associated with higher levels of chronic inflammation, another damaging process that may result in oxidative stress.

For example, the permitted level of arsenic in food is equivalent to that in several thousand cigarettes. Vitamin D, like arsenic, is used as a rat poison!Formaldehyde, ammonia and carbon monoxide are produced NATURALLY by the human body and the latter two are essential for the human body to function. Formaldehyde is also used as a food preservative, as is acetic acid (vinegar!).
What are the health benefits of rosemary herbs?
Rosemary is a potent antioxidant, antiseptic, and antispasmodic. In European folk medicine, it was used both internally and externally, for ills including nervous disorders, upset stomach, headaches, baldness, arthritis, pain, strains, and bruises. More recently, it has been investigated as a cancer therapy. Benefits of rosemary for specific health conditions include the following:• Alzheimer's disease. Rosemary contains compounds that prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, a brain chemical that allows the nerve cells responsible for memory and reasoning to communicate with one another. Rosemary also improves circulation to the brain.• Cancer. Research shows that rosemary has strong antioxidant effects. Several animal studies indicate that rosemary can prevent cancer-causing chemicals from binding to and causing mutations in cellular DNA. This was later reconfirmed in human cells. Rosemary has been shown to inhibit the carcinogen aflatoxin from binding to liver cells and to prevent benzopyrene from binding to bronchial cells. These results show that its potential protective abilities go beyond one carcinogen and one type of tissue. Other research has found that whole rosemary extract can stimulate liver enzymes that defuse carcinogens and reduces those enzymes that can enhance carcinogens.• Circulatory problems, eczema, rheumatic disorders, and sore muscles. In European folk medicine, rosemary baths were used to prevent bacterial infection complicating eczema. Rosemary baths also stimulate blood circulation to the skin. This action helps the body to circulate the immune cells that cause eczema away from the skin and to circulate antibodies and other immune cells that fight infection to the skin. Rosemary contains camphor, which increases the blood supply to the skin. Because of this property, using rosemary in the bath helps to reduce pain in rheumatic muscles and joints. Rosemary baths also help to improve disorders characterized by chronic circulatory weakness, such as low blood pressure, varicose veins, bruises, and sprains.• Indigestion and menstrual cramps. Rosemary helps to relax muscles, including the muscles of the digestive tract and the uterus.• Irritable bowel syndrome. Rosemary relieves intestinal cramps and spasms. It also eases bloated feelings and stops flatulence. The bitter substances in rosemary stimulate the release of bile, aiding the digestion of dietary fat and lowering cholesterol levels. Rosemary also protects the liver from toxins leaking through the bowel.• Yeast infection. Rosemary is both diuretic and fungicidal. Its diuretic action increases the likelihood that infectious yeasts will be flushed out of the body before they have a chance to cause infection. Its fungicidal action kills Candida albicans, destroying many of the yeast cells that remain. Rosemary is not so potent, however, that it completely wipes out the natural bacterial population of the digestive tract, an action that helps keep the intestines in healthy balance.PrecautionsUse sparingly if pregnant and not at all during first trimester because it could trigger a miscarriage (in therapeutic doses)Jorgewww.herbosophy.com.au
Can magic mushrooms cause permanent damage?
Marijuana has no physical damage to a user and it does not kill brain cells. It is not addictive. No hang over no psycho behavior like alcohol. It is way better to smoke than tobacco. It is legal to have in California if you have a medical license. If you don't it is still not a crime, never illegal in California since 2003. It is decriminalized in the whole state of CALIFORNIA. Eventually it will be decriminalized state wide by Obama. No damage has ever been reported nor an over dose. you can't over dose but you can overdose on alcohol. A lot of people get alcohol poisoning but continue to drink, ew. The most annoying part is only when i read on the internet that some Americans love to spread false rumors about it being a dangerous drug that is not legal anywhere. Um have you ever traveled outside the country? The rest of the world giggles at that. LEGAL IN BRITSH COLUMBIA, HOLLAND,PERU,MEXICO,CZECH REPUBLIC and some islands. It is only illegal in the USA, Turkey and some parts of the middle east. I'm glad the USA can agree with turkey and the middle east on something, ha or not. It offers neuroprotection, meaning it protects nerves and brain cells. There is also some evidence that it may facilitate brain cell development. The US DHS confirms the scientific research that marijuana can be used as a neuroprotectant and antioxidant, it hold the patent to these uses patent no. 6630507 I can also relive the symptoms of ADD and ADHD as well as help motivate them to do their work. The consequences of minimal usage are not alarming. Many voices on the subject overplay the impact marijuana has in the development of the brain as not all users are taking the drug every week. A brief outline of these effects on the brain is as follows: User's are more likely to develop mental problems such as anxiety, depression, etc. This, however, is a varying risk from person to person. Some people may never experience these mental issues. Short term memory issues is also a common problem linked with the drug, but this is only temporary. People can sometimes identify someone who abuses the drug by their behaviour. The main problem with marijuana is that people think that the drug is relatively harmless. This is only true if the user doesn't abuse the drug. I know people who smoke it before they go to bed (marijuana is a great for insomnia relief and other debilitating conditions) and when they wake up (certain strains can be more effective than coffee and are much less addictive than coffee). It can happen to anyone. Weed is a known bronchodialator to the medical community. This being said it could be effective treatment to a person with asthma as long as they vape, rather than smoke. Smoking deposits tar into the lungs. Because marijuana smoke is rarely filtered this can be up to 4 times as much tar by weight smoked than cigarette smoke deposits, this being said a tobacco smoker goes through 20-40 cigarettes a day while a stoner goes through 2-4 joints of the same weight per day. Marijuana smoke also causes temporary irritation, but it has no lasting effects. Marijuana does not increase your risk for cancer or COPD, let alone cause them unlike tobacco smoking and there are studies that conclusively prove this and disprove the myth and lie alleged by the negative propaganda.
How does marijuana effect people?
Cannabis has little effect on someones health. About the only negative effect cannabis has is when you smoke it, it can be harmful to your lungs. But other than that it can also have positive effects on peoples health which is why it is now being used medically. It is used to stimulate someone to eat as well as a variety of other uses. The largest study of the health effects of marijuana to date was done by Kaiser Permanente. They studied the health records of 65,000 patients over a number of years. They found no significant differences between the health histories of those who smoked pot versus those who did not smoke marijuana. Marijuana and Mortality Every major government commission report on marijuana from around the world over the last 100 years has concluded that marijuana prohibition was based on racism, ignorance, and nonsense. They all said the marijuana laws should have been repealed long ago because they do more harm than good.They all said that marijuana is not a significant threat to health.
