3SQ1 (uie) Flashcards
Its organic form is metabolized by deacylation and eliminated majority thru the feces and urine
Mercury
Exposure to this may come from semiconductors and wood prerservatives
Arsenic
This is metabolized by methylation and eliminated majority thru the kidneys
Arsenic
This confers special properties to alloys and metals
Beryllium*
Clinically used for chelation of lead as well as zinc and manganese
Edetate Calcium Disodium
Environmental pollutant used as heat transfer fluid, lubricating oil and flame retardants
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
This dimercapto chelating agent exhibits protective effects against the action of mercury and arsenic
has reported allergic reactions including Steven-Johnson syndrome
Unithiol
This is a tridentate iron chelator is used to treat iron overload caused by blood transfusion
Deferasirox
Second-line oral chelator for patients with transfusional iron overload due to thalassemia
Deferiprone
Increased risk of Steven Johnson syndrome or erythema multiforme with use
Unithiol
Massive IV hemolysis
Arsenic
Chronic exposure causes Mesothelioma
Asbestos
Result of overzealous treatment of CO poisoning
Cerebral edema*
Long-term effect of organophosphate poisoning secondary to its action on NTE enzyme
OPIDP
Damages the lung infrastructure that produces the surfactant
NO
Least concern of preventive systems in the workplace
Oral
This relatively insoluble deep lung irritant may cause adult respiratory distress syndrome
Nitrogen oxide
This mucous membrane irritant causes shallow rapid breathing.
Ozone
This bluish irritant gas is found in the earth’s atmosphere where it absorbs UV light;
Ozone
Genetically modified crops were developed to have resistance to this type of herbicide:

This is a tridentate iron chelator is used to treat iron overload caused by blood transfusion
Deferasirox
This relatively insoluble deep lung irritant may cause adult respiratory distress syndrome
Nitrogen oxide
A colorless irritant gas generated from combustion of fossil fuels
Sulfur dioxide
This is a brownish irritant gas associated with fires and causes sil-filler’s disease:
Nitrogen oxide
Genetically modified crops were developed to have resistance to this type of herbicide:
Glyphosate
Environmental pollutant with byproducts that causes Wasting syndrome and thymic atrophy
TCDD (tetrachlorodibenzodioxin)
Known or probable carcinogens EXCEPT
Paraquat
Damages the lung infrastructure that produces the surfactant
NO
Concerned with the toxic effects of chemical and physical agents on populations and communities of living organisms within defined ecosystems
Ecotoxicology
Biomagnification
negligible amount of a contaminant may be enlarged hundreds to thousand times as the contaminant passes up the food chain
Decreases dissociation of O2 from oxyhemoglobin
carbon monoxide or carboxyhemoglobin *
This is metabolized by methylation and eliminated majority thru the kidneys
Arsenic
Poisoning with this metal may show transverse white striae on nails.
Arsenic
Exposure to this may come from batteries, electroplating or galvanizing
Cadmium
Its organic form is metabolized by deacylation and eliminated majority thru the feces and urine
Mercury
Clinically used for treatment of intoxication with thallium salts
Prussian Blue
Clinically used for acute poisoning of arsenic and inorganic mercury

Pyramat
Carbamate pesticide
Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane
Organochlorine pesticide
Chloroform
Halogenated Aliphatic Hydrocarbons
Benzene
Aromatic Hydrocarbons
True of use of EDTA
Increased activity on extracellular* ions making it ideal even for established toxicities
Alters uric acid excretion
