Biological Effects of Radiation02:59

Biological Effects of Radiation

15.1K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

Types of Toxins

1.6K
Humans continually engage with an environment rich in potentially harmful chemicals. These are introduced to our bodies through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. These chemicals exist in various forms, such as air and environmental pollutants, agricultural chemicals, organic solvents, and heavy metals.
Air pollutants, primarily gases, pose significant threats to respiratory health, leading to conditions like hypoxia, lung cancer, and in extreme cases, death.
Environmental pollutants like...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Maize stover burning (MSB) significantly harms broiler health, increasing risks of blood coagulation and cardiovascular diseases. Air quality deteriorates, necessitating legislative bans on agricultural waste burning.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Animal Health
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Biomass burning poses global environmental and health challenges.
  • Maize stover burning (MSB) impacts air quality with carbon monoxide (CO) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5).
  • Broilers serve as an animal model to assess health effects of MSB exposure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the health impacts of intensive maize stover burning on broilers.
  • To evaluate changes in blood parameters, liver enzymes, and histopathology following MSB exposure.
  • To assess the risks associated with air pollutants generated by agricultural waste burning.

Main Methods:

  • Broilers from 12 farms were monitored during MSB and non-burning periods.
  • Blood-gas analysis, bilirubin, and liver enzyme levels were measured.
Metaplasia
  • Histopathological examination of lung, liver, and heart tissues was conducted.

    • Main Results:

    • MSB exposure led to significant alterations in hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) levels.
    • Elevated liver enzymes and increased risk of blood coagulation and cardiovascular diseases were observed.
    • Significant respiratory dysfunction, pulmonary fibrosis, and embolic phenomena in pulmonary and hepatic vessels were documented.

    Conclusions:

    • Seasonal exposure to MSB poses substantial health risks to broilers and degrades air quality.
    • Agricultural waste burning presents a significant threat that warrants legislative intervention.
    • Banning agricultural waste burning is recommended to protect environmental and public health.
