Textile industry is one of the most common and essential sector in the world. The textile industry consumes large quantities of water at its different steps of dyeing and finishing, among other processes. The non-biodegradable nature of dyes and their stability toward light and oxidizing agents complicate the selection of a suitable method for their removal. Moreover, toxicity bioassays have de...

background: rhabdomyolysis is one of the major complications of poisoning caused by alcohol, narcotics, and psychotropic substances acute toxicity, which might lead to acute renal failure and even death. this study aimed to evaluate clinical and laboratory findings of rhabdomyolysis syndrome in poisoning patients who were admitted to poisoning ward of farshchian hospital of hamadan, iran. metho...

pistacia vera l., a member of anacardiaceae family, has been used for sedation and analgesia in traditional medicine. in this study, the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects as well as acute toxicity of the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of p. vera leaves were investigated in mice. the antinociceptive activity was studied using hot plate and writhing tests. the effect of the extracts a...

Continuous-flow toxicity tests were conducted to determine the relative tolerances of newly hatched alevins, swim-up alevins, parr, and smolts of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and steelhead (Salmo gairdneri) to cadmium, copper, and zinc. Newly hatched alevins were much more tolerant to cadmium and, to a lesser extent, to zinc than were later juvenile forms. However, the later progre...

The objective of the present study was to determine acute toxicity of copper, ammonia, or chlorine to larval (glochidia) and juvenile mussels using the recently published American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard guide for conducting laboratory toxicity tests with freshwater mussels. Toxicity tests were conducted with glochidia (24to 48-h exposures) and juveniles (96-h exposure...

Toxicity tests of 95% ethanol extract of the root of Antidesma acidum were studied in male and female rats. The oral acute toxicity test at 5,000 mg/kg revealed that the ethanol extract did not produce toxic effects on signs, general behavious, mortality and gross appearance of internal organs of rats. Furthermore, the oral sub-acute toxicity test at the dose of 1,000 mg/kg/day displayed no sig...

Objective: This study was conducted to assess the toxicity profile of the aqueous-fermented extract of Musa paradisiaca in rats. Materials and Methods: In acute toxicity test, the rats of different groups were orally administered with a single dose of 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000 mg/kg of fermented extract of M. paradisiaca. The rats were monitored for behavioral changes, toxicity signs and mortali...
