Abstract:
The aim of presented study was to assess the basic toxic components intake by working students. The questionnaire study was curried out on 82 students (52 women and 30 men) aged 26 +/- 6 years. However, the percentage of non-smokers in the studying group was 71 (61% of women and 87% of men), the approximately 90% of both analyzing sub-populations: non-smokers and smokers, rank themselves among passive smokers with accompanying of other smokers by mean 2,3 +/- 2,0 hours per day. The estimating daily toxic components intake in active and passive smoker groups, were following respectively: nicotine--4.9 +/- 3.4 vs. 2.0 +/- 1.5; tar--60.3 +/- 42.0 vs. 24.4 +/- 18.0; carbon monoxide--62.4 +/- 43.5 vs. 25.2 +/- 18.7 mg/day. In conclusions, the non-smokers are exposed on toxic components of tobacco smoke in the half parts of these what smokers intake.

Types of Toxins
Air pollutants, primarily gases, pose significant threats to respiratory health, leading to conditions like hypoxia, lung cancer, and in extreme cases, death.

Toxic Reactions: Overview
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...
