The biochemical pathways of heavy metal poisoning are routes by which the metals pass in the body as they impair and destroy normal cellular and organ activity. The most common types of heavy metal poisoning are caused by lead‚ arsenic‚ cadmium and mercury. They are also the most extensively studied at the moment. Lead poisoning occurs mainly by the inhibitory effect that the metal imposes on enzymes and subsequent distortion of essential biochemical pathways. The metal disrupts calcium metabolism and

Calcium was actually discovered by Humphry Davy in 1808. Calcium’s name happens to come from the latin ‘calx’ meaning lime. Lime (calcium oxide‚ CaO) was a useful material that was created by heating limestone. Before the discovery of calcium‚ a man named Antoine Lavoisier classified the lime as “earth” because it was very difficult‚ almost

Plasma Complexity! Plasma is said to a substance similar to gas in which a certain portion of the particles are ionized. The basic premise is that heating a gas dissociates its molecular bonds‚ rendering it into its constituent atoms. Further heating leads ionization‚ turning it into plasma: containing charged particles‚ positive ions and negative electrons. The presence of a non-negligible number of charge carriers makes the plasma electrically conductive so that it responds strongly to electromagnetic
