THIRD EXAM Flashcards
A scientific discipline that overlaps with biology, chemistry, pharmacology, and medicine involves studying the adverse effects of chemical substances on living organisms and diagnosing and treating exposures to toxins and toxins
TOXICOLOGY
It is an antigen that produces an abnormally potent immune response where the immune system targets and fights a threat or an invader that could potentially harm the body.
ALLERGENS
Recognized by the immune system to causean allergic reactions.
ALLERGENS
It is referring to toxins that are destructive to nerve tissue. ________ are an extensive class of exogenous chemicals, neurological insults that can adversely affect function in both developing and mature nervous tissue.
NEUROTOXINS
Are a physical or chemical agent that causes an increase in D.N.A. modifications by altering the organism’s D.N.A.
MUTAGENS
Any agent that can disrupt embryonic or fetal development causes a child’s congenital disability or may completely cease the pregnancy.
TERATOGENS
These agents include radiation, maternal infections, chemicals, or drugs.
TERATOGENS
Are any substances or agents that promote cancer development (carcinogenesis), causing genome damage or disruption of cells’ metabolic process.
CARCINOGENS
Organic compounds are resistant to biochemical, photolytic, and other environmental degradation processes.
PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS (P.O.P.s)
P.O.P.s are some times called “_______ _________”
FOREVER CHEMICALS
A physiological reaction in a human or animal body which cause severe symptoms that could rapidly develop through acute exposure to toxic substances.
ACUTE EFFECTS
An adverse effect on animals or the human body with symptoms that develop slowly, due to prolonged and continuous exposure to low concentrations of hazardous substances.
CHRONIC EFFECTS
The combined effort of identifying and analyzing potential events can negatively affect individuals, assets, and even the environment.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The evaluation, prioritization, and identification of risks followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to control, monitor, and minimize the probability or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Chemical compounds used to eliminate pests, such as insects, rodents, fungi, and weeds. These chemicals are also used in public health to kill disease vectors and pests that damage crops.
PESTICIDES
Pesticides used to kill unwanted plants (weeds). There are selective _______ that explicitly target a weed/s by interfering with its growth without harming the desired crop.
HERBICIDES
It is any substances that formulate to eliminate or mitigate insects, including ovicides, which are used against insects and larvicides to kill insect larvae.
INSECTICIDES
Biocidal chemical compounds or biological organisms (plants or animals) used to kill parasitic fungi, or their spores can cause severe damage in agriculture, resulting in decreased yield, crop quality, and profit.
FUNGICIDES
A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. It can be improved to live a happier, longer, and more productive and satisfying lives.
HEALTH
It can be influenced by environmental factors such as the Earth’s climate system by impairing physical and psychological functions.
DISEASE
Defined as the impairment of an individual’s well-being and capacity to function and is mostly attributed to inadequate behavioral and environmental change.
DISEASE
As a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.
HEALTH
Can also be influenced by environmental factors such as the Earth’s climate system by impairing physical and psychological functions.
DISEASE
Is defined as the impairment of an individual’s well-being and capacity to function and is mostly attributed to inadequate behavioral and environmental change
DISEASE
Other word for illness
MORBIDITY
Other word for death
MORTALITY
A comprehensive regional and global research program of disease burden that assesses mortality and disability from major diseases, injuries, and risk factors.
