In humans, eye color is a highly sexually dimorphic trait. [18] Several studies have shown that men are more likely to have blue eyes than women, while women are more likely to have darker eye colors (green and brown eyes) than men. [18] [19] Sex is therefore a major factor in the expression of eye color genotypes. [18]
Like all soluble barium compounds, barium nitrate is toxic by ingestion or inhalation. [8] Solutions of sulfate salts such as Epsom salts or sodium sulfate may be given as first aid for barium poisoning, as they precipitate the barium as the insoluble (and non-toxic) barium sulfate. Inhalation may also cause irritation to the respiratory tract.
Other compounds of barium find only niche applications, limited by the toxicity of Ba 2+ ions (barium carbonate is a rat poison), which is not a problem for the insoluble BaSO 4. Barium oxide coating on the electrodes of fluorescent lamps facilitates the release of electrons .
More melanin means darker eyes, hair or skin. The color of the melanin in the eyes is determined by three other genes, EYCL1, 2 and 3. ... All blue-eyed people can trace their ancestry back to a ...
Tetraethyl lead is one of the most significant heavy metal contaminants in recent use. [ 15 ] Toxic metals are found naturally in the earth, and become concentrated as a result of human activities, or, in some cases geochemical processes, such as accumulation in peat soils that are then released when drained for agriculture.

People with lighter eyes also consume significantly more alcohol, as darker eyed people require less alcohol to become intoxicated. The reason boils down to genes.
With brown eyes taking an overwhelming lead, all of the other eye colors have lower percentages. According to WorldAtlas , 8-10 percent of the world's population have blue eyes.
The first naturally occurring barium chromate was found in the country of Jordan. The brown crystals found perched on host rocks were named hashemite in honor of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The hashemite crystals range in color from light yellowish-brown to a darker greenish-brown and are usually less than 1mm in length. [2]
