Chemistry

Study of nature, effects, detection of poisons & treatment of poisoning

Poisonous substance, protein structure, secreted by certain organisms

Harmful, destructive, deadly; poisonous

Poison/poisonous agent

Poisons toxic degree

Producing poison or toxic substance

Pathological condition from poisoning

Toxin mixture

Antitoxin with slight excess of toxin, formerly vaccine

Toxin that lost toxicity

Retained capacity to stimulate production of, or combine with, antioxins in immunization

Remedy/agent to counteract effects of poison

Substance imperils health/life when absorbed into body

Causes injury/death, especially by chemical means

Poisonous substance produced by higher plants, animals, pathogenic bacteria that is toxic (poisonous) to humans

Poison of plant or animal origin

All toxin are poison, not all poison are toxin

Poison/radiation amount that kills 50% of group administered to

Dose calculated on amount of material given per gram or kilogram of body weight, or amount per unit of body surface area

Smallest does of poison/radiation on record that kills

Smallest amount given that will result in death

• Corpulence
• Age
• Health
• Physical state of poison (solid, liquid, gas)
• Method of administration
• Habituation
• Tolerance
• Metabolic rate

Habitual exposure will develop tolerance

Fingernail polish remover, dry wash shampoo

Dimethyl ketone

Colorless, volatile, flammable liquid, miscible with water, useful solvent, sweet fruity ethereal odor

Arterial/cavity chemicals

Methanol - methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, CH₃OH

Methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, CH₃OH

Colorless, poisonous liquid, burns with non-luminous flame

Oxidized in body to formaldehyde

Highly toxic when induced through digestive tract, causing blindness in low dosees, death in large dose

Good solvent

Slight antiseptic/preservative qualities

Anitfreeze, paint remover, solvent in shllac & varnish, denaturant in denatured alcohol

Chloroform & Carbon tetrachloride

Red dye #2

Herbicide

Controls weeds & grasses

Cleaning agent, neutralize formaldehyde forming urotropin

Never use with chlorine bleach

Vinegar mix will neutralize due to acetic acid

Used for scent, cooking ingredient, embalming fluid

Waxy, white/transparent solid

Strong aromatic odor, ability to sublimate

Terpenoid in wood of large evergreen trees and others in laurel family

Lysol - cresols are methyl derivatives of phenol

Used in vitro inhibition of Giardia lamblia & Trichomonas vaginalis

Organic chemical compound, secondary amino and dialcohol

Chemical variants common ingredients in cosmetics & shampoos (create creamy texture, foaming action)

Colorless liquid, miscible with water, majority of organic liquids

Common solvent for chemical reactions

Ester found useful solvent in nail polish remover, model paint, and model airplane glue

Antidote for metal poisoning, anticoagulant, ingreadient in variety of detergents

Preservative, in most embalming chemicals

Gas in pure state, solid in 37% aqueous solution as formalin (use as biological sterilant, preservative, embalming fluid)

Material in manufacture of plastics like Bakelite, Formica, & Melamine; component of adhesives in bind plywood, part of foam insulation

Methanoic acid - oxidation product of formaldehyde

Naturally in venom of bee and ant stings

5 carbon dialdehyde

Active ingredient in antifreeze

OC1 - Bleaches like Sodium Hypochlorite NaOC1

Known as Tertiary butane

Methylpropane and/or 2 - methyl propane - CH3CH(CH3)CH3 (gas in lighters)

Known as Butanone

Organic solvent similar to acetone with 4 carbons

Solvent, cleaning solution

Historically "gun cotton", was used in immobilize proteins due to nonspecific affinity for amino acids

Due to explosive nature all but disappeared from use

Spot remover

Monounsaturated omega - 9 fatty acid in various animal & vegtable sources

Hinder progression of ALD or Adrenoleukodystrophy (fatal disease affects brain and adrenal gland)

Mold inhibitor

Solid form of formaldehyde

Jaundice fluids

Characteristic odor, dangerous due to rapid corrosive action on tissues

Effective as bacteriostatic agent (when properly diluted)

Active ingredient of hardening compounds

In gas torches, lighters

Known as silica

Inhalation can lead to silicosis, bronchitis or cancer (dust lodged in lungs & continuously irritates them, reducing lung capacities)

Surface active agents, cleansers

Soaps will neutralize quat

Mineral composed of hydrated magnesium silicate (quartz)

Widely used substance known as talcum powder

Known as methylbenzene or phenylmethane

Clear, water insoluble liquid with typical smell of paint thinners, aromatic hydrocarbon widely used as solvent

Volatile liquid, immiscible (NOT) with water, able to dissolve fats, used as solvent (cleaning fluid)

Used as synthesis of innumerable dyes & drugs

heavy, clear, colorless liquid, strong ether like odor, formed by action of chlorinated lime on methyl alcohol

Usage is obsolete

Clear, colorless liquid with ethereal odor resembling chloroform, not flammable

Having narcotic & anesthetic properties resembling chloroform

Too toxic for anesthetic, mechanism of injury is acute atrophy of liver and kidney

Ethyl oxide or diethyl ether, preciously in anesthesia, highly flammable

Do not store once opened due to toxic products forming when exposed to light
