In truth, she said, vapes and e-cigarettes "have different chemicals, and some of those chemicals are toxic, and we don't know exactly what the long-term effects are."
Toxic metals sometimes imitate the action of an essential element, interfering with the metabolic processes resulting in illness. Many metals, particularly heavy metals are toxic, but some are essential, and some, such as bismuth, have a low toxicity. Metals in an oxidation state abnormal to the body may also become toxic: chromium(III) is an ...
A new Clean Label Project report suggests some protein powders contain heavy metals lead and cadmium. See which ones are safe here, plus what an expert advises. ‘Elevated Levels’ of Heavy ...
Many gases have toxic properties, which are often assessed using the LC 50 (median lethal concentration) measure. In the United States, many of these gases have been assigned an NFPA 704 health rating of 4 (may be fatal) or 3 (may cause serious or permanent injury), and/or exposure limits (TLV, TWA/PEL, STEL, or REL) determined by the ACGIH professional association.
