Cumulative Risk Estimation for Chemical Mixtures
In reality, humans are always exposed to a combination of toxic substances and seldom to a single agent. Simultaneous exposure to a multitude of chemicals could result in unexpected consequences. The combined risk may lead to greater or less than a simple summation of the effects induced by chemicals given individually. Here, a method is proposed for estimating the cumulative risk which is the ...
متن کاملTemporal variation in enrichment effects during periphyton succession in a nitrogen-limited desert stream ecosystem
Periphyton succession was studied over 89 d in longitudinally adjacent reaches (a riffle and run) in Sycamore Creek, a spatially intermittent desert stream. Effects of nitrogen limitation were assessed by comparing algal development on clay saucers containing either nitrate-enriched or unenriched agar. We evaluated effects of grazing on periphyton accrual by amending agar in half the substrata ...
متن کاملبررسی اثر عصاره هیدروالکلی گیاه خوشاریزه (Echinophora platyloba L.) بر غلظت سرمی تستوسترون و گنادوتروپینها در موش صحرایی نر القا شده با تتراکلرید کربن
Background and Objective: Carbon tetrachloride is one of the chemical toxins widely used in hygiene industries. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Echinophora platyloba extract (EPE) on serum levels of testosterone and gonadotropins in male rats induced with carbon tetrachloride. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study 49 male Wistar rats (220-250 g) were rando...
متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF OILFIELD CHEMICALS ON THE SURFACE TENSION OF SURFACTANT SYSTEMS
Treated sea water is the most significant source of water and surfactant floods. The various chemicals employed in treatment plants should be compatible with surfactant systems. Based on surface tension experiments, the activity of these chemicals is examined over a wide range of concentrations in different solutions, including distillated water, sea water by using three types of surfactant mix...
متن کاملProtective Effect of Berberis integerrima Fruit Extract on Carbon-Tetrachloride Induced Hepatotoxicity in Rats
Background & Objective: Hepatoprotective effect of antioxidants such as flavnoids has been demonstrated. The aim of the present study was to assess the hepatoprotective effect of the methanolic extract of Berberis integerrima fruit (MEBIF) on carbon-tetrachloride (CCL4) induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Materials & Methods: Forty male rats were divided into 5 groups as follows: 1) normal, 2) toxi...
