Assignemnt: ADVANCED TOXICOGLY
Instructions
Metals are basic elements that do not degrade any further, so they are able to persist in the environment. Metals may not always stay in the same form because they are able to react to form different compounds. Research a metal that was discussed in the textbook reading such as mercury, arsenic, or cadmium. Create a PowerPoint presentation at least seven slides in length, discussing the following:
• background information on the metal,
• the cornerstone xenobiotic pharmacokinetic properties and effects of the metal,
• the bioaccumulative effects of the metal in the environment and how it affects humans and the environment, and
• concentration of metal that is considered toxic and symptoms of toxicity by this metal.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
