What is the Worst Toxin
Description:
Create a 2-page research paper summarizing the following questions about Trichloromethane (aka chloroform), Formaldehyde, and 2,3, 7, 8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TODD in dioxin family):
1. Which of the three toxins would cause the most acute damage to the human body, and to what organ systems? 2. Which of the toxins would pose the greatest long-term risk to the body? 3. How does the ability of the human body to receive/absorb, process, and eliminate the toxin affect your evaluation of its toxicity? 4. How does the ability of a person to prevent or minimize environmental exposure to the toxin contribute to your evaluation of its toxicity? 5. How does their long-term impact of the human race (think about the next 100 years) affect your evaluation of its toxicity? 6. : "Which toxin has the greatest negative impact on the human body?"
