PAHs2
  • Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) ranging from 4 to 27 mg/L had no measurable effect on the freely dissolved concentrations of two- and three-ring PAHs. (who.int)
  • However, DOC-associated versus freely dissolved PAHs had no significant effect on the total "34" PAH concentrations or the sum of the "toxic units" (calculated bythe EPA protocol), since virtually all (86-99%) of the dissolved PAH concentrations and toxic units were contributed by two- and three-ring PAHs. (who.int)
Dermal1
  • When the skin is exposed to toxic chemicals, its keratinous covering is destroyed, and underlying dermal tissues are exposed to continuous necrotizing action. (medscape.com)
Dioxin1
  • EWG found cancer-causing dioxin and related chemicals in the blood of every American it tested, including cord blood from 20 newborns that came into the world "pre-polluted. (ewg.org)
Pollute1
  • These "forever chemicals" pollute water, don't break down, and remain in the environment and people for decades. (ewg.org)
Choose organic1
  • People choose organic food over conventional food for many reasons. (cornucopia.org)
Conventional2
  • And why do some people say that organic sprays are even more toxic than conventional? (rodaleinstitute.org)
  • However, in stark contrast to the way it polices other food, drug, cosmetic and medical device industries, the FDA has let the $52.5-billion organic food industry and pro-organic, anti-conventional farming, anti-biotechnology interests routinely and flagrantly ignore agency rules.

Concentration2
  • The experiment was conducted in glass containers with water at known PCB concentration and containing 10 mg/L natural organic matter (NOM) and activated carbon. (bvsalud.org)
  • The concentration of toxic agent and duration of its contact primarily determine the degree of skin destruction. (medscape.com)
