Deck 4 Flashcards
Dinitrophenols act by
Blocking oxidative phosphorylation
Methemoglobinemia agents
Directly-acting agents
Indirectly-acting agents
Nitrites
Chlorates
Carbamates
Oxides of nitrogen
Aromatic nitro and amino compounds
Herbicide sodium chlorate causes
production of methemoglobin
Amygdalin is
poisonous cyanogenic glycoside - found in many plants (apricot, peach and plum seeds)
ANTU acts
Increase permeability of lung capillaries –> pulmonary edema and accumulation of serous transduate in the lung alveoli
Normal concentration of methemoglobin is
3 +/- 2%
Mycotoxins can be divided into 4 groups according to their effect on organism
- Hepatotoxic effect
- Provoking haemorrhagic syndrome
- Provoking photodynamic effect
- Other effects
DDT, chlordane, dieldrin, aldrin, heptachlor and lindane belong to
Chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides
Can samples for CHTA be preserved with chemicals?
NO!
Pb is qualitatively determined with
H2SO4 (sulfuric acid)
Brucine is used as a detection solution for qualitative determination of
NO3 (nitrate)
OCB is determined by
gas chromatography
NaCl is determined
by water extract
How is toxic substances determined after adjustment
Water extract
Extraction with organic solvent
Steam distillation
Mineralisation
Zn3P2 is determined
without adjustment
