With Russia's invasion of Ukraine faltering, could the Kremlin consider escalating the conflict using chemical weapons? What would biological warfare look like? Dr Alastair Hay, a Professor of Environmental Toxicology at the University of Leeds, joins Arthur Snell to discuss the history of chemical weapons, and if we'll see them used in the Ukraine conflict.

But all the evidence points to them being responsible for the Salisbury poisonings.” “The novichok nerve agent used against the Skripals and Navalny is exceeding lethal in small quantities.” “Russia has stood back and supported Syria's use of chemical weapons.” “The U.K. had stocks of chemical weapons, but these were destroyed in the 1950s and 60s.” “Chemical weapons cause nowhere near as many casualties as nuclear weapons, but they are indiscriminate.” “Troops have protective clothing, but civilians don't, so the use of these weapons would be to terrorise the population.” DOOMSDAY WATCH was written and presented by Arthur Snell, and produced by Robin Leeburn with Jacob Archbold.

How human activity, chemical exposures, and environmental factors combine to contribute to wildlife population declines is at the forefront of the research by Dr. Caroline Moore and other teams at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. Dr. Moore unravels the role of toxicology in wildlife conservation with co-hosts Anne Chappelle and David Faulkner. About the GuestCaroline Moore, PhD, DVM, serves the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance as a Scientist in Disease Investigations. In this role, she works as a veterinary toxicology researcher, providing molecular and diagnostic toxicology support. She uses toxicology, pathology, molecular diagnostics, and epidemiology to better understand how environmental contaminants, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and harmful algal blooms, create roadblocks to wildlife conservation and how to prevent them.Dr. Moore is working on developing and applying environmental and diagnostic toxicology in Kenya, where pesticides are used indiscriminately; in Peru, where mining activities release mercury into the environment, impacting birds, bats, nonhuman primates, ocelots, and more; and in Zimbabwe, where harmful algal blooms may be an increasing threat. She is especially interested in developing noninvasive in situ diagnostic tests to better understand the challenges to endangered species and how toxicant exposures may impact future generations through altered epigenetics.Dr. Moore earned her bachelor's degree in biochemistry and molecular biology from the University of California Santa Cruz, assisting with necropsies and research on the decline of the southern sea otter. She earned her doctorate in pharmacology and toxicology and her veterinary medical degree at the University of California Davis while on a US Environmental Protection Agency STAR grant investigating how globally present microcystins have toxic effects on the nervous system. She spent the next year as a National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences postdoctoral fellow at the University of California Los Angeles researching how environmental contaminants may cause reproductive toxicity through epigenetics, and the next two years as the SDZWA Steel Endowed Pathology Fellow, establishing successful ways to incorporate more toxicology into conservation field programs. Dr. Moore is an active member of the Society of Toxicology, the American College of Toxicology, and the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, serving on committees and boards for comparative veterinary toxicology, early career professionals, diversity and inclusion, and regional support for Southern California. As an avid hiker, camper, and wildlife enthusiast, Dr. Moore has always felt the need to support conservation efforts through her research.

Let the talk commence..Chemical actions can take place at two main levels, individual and environment Individual effects occurring at intended organs produce therapeutic effect while effects at unwanted target sites produce toxic or harmful effects. In environment drug effects spread from organism to other via food chain and toxicity accumulates.On Individual level, the term for the branch is Medical Pharmacology or Toxicology while its Environmental Toxicology at the other end. Toxicology is a science of poisons. It is the branch of Pharmacology dealing with unwanted, undesirable effects, rather better to say, poisonous effects of drugs/chemicals which belong household, industry, pollution, agriculture, etc.More interesting aspects like poison detection, prevention and cure. Symptoms and adverse effects are also considered. I would love to tell you two famous drug quotes related to toxicology. Next I will be shifting my centre of talks from Toxicology to Pharmacotherapeutics. This branch deals with therapeutic and clinical application of subject knowledge along with drug information to relieve the patient from disease. Its a vaste field covering lot of shades like appropriate drug dose, time duration, signs, symptoms and disease stage, patient features and compliance and finally cure of disease.

Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika Vijay. Do you know about Poison? Is their study a part of Pharmacology? What could be totally opposite branch? These queries will be answered in today's episode. Let the talk commence.. Chemical actions can take place at two main levels, individual and environment Individual effects occurring at intended organs produce therapeutic effect while effects at unwanted target sites produce toxic or harmful effects. In environment drug effects spread from organism to other via food chain and toxicity accumulates. On Individual level, the term for the branch is Medical Pharmacology or Toxicology while its Environmental Toxicology at the other end. Toxicology is a science of poisons. It is the branch of Pharmacology dealing with unwanted, undesirable effects, rather better to say, poisonous effects of drugs/chemicals which belong household, industry, pollution, agriculture, etc. More interesting aspects like poison detection, prevention and cure.

Like many in the West and other parts of the world increasingly affected by fire, I think often of the hard work and heroism of our wildland firefighters. “Los bomberos” have been regularly mentioned in our family prayers before meals and bedtimes, and my children have participated enthusiastically in making thank you cards. As a lung doctor, I worry frequently about the health of frontline workers. One person who is an expert in evaluating and protecting high risk occupations is my podcast guest today. Dr. Alya Khan is an occupational medicine physician at the University of California Irvine, and directs the Occupational Medicine Residency program there. In addition to a Master's degree in Environmental Toxicology, she holds dual board certifications in internal Medicine and Preventive Medicine. She works at the Center for Occupational and Environmental Health which provides clinical and preventive services to local and regional employers, conducts worksite surveillance programs, as well as providing toxicology consultations. Earlier this year, she chaired a symposium on wildfires and health risks with a variety of professions, from public health researchers to wildland firefighters and forest management experts. Listen and learn! Ways to Take Action Thank your firefighters- and make sure you advocate for them to have lifelong high quality health coverage since they are risking their lives and health to keep us all safe. Donate to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation- Charity Navigator Score of 93.91, and participate in the Tribute to Fallen Firefighters on October 4th Ensure protection for outdoor workers- ensure your state has workplace safety considerations in place for outdoor workers. These can be complex issues, but just because issues are complex, does not mean we should not work on them. One example is here. Check with your local fire department on how to make your home and community more resilient to wildfire Contact your legislators to support increased wildland fire prevention - for example with a pro-active forest management approach with year-round staffing. We need to let the science lead to help us understand which areas are at risk and spend the money to pay people to safely address it. This will also bring good, high quality jobs as well. Oregon Senator Ron Wyden has introduced the National Prescribed Fire Act of 2020, for example. This is another deviation from the usual podcast schedule of every two weeks. Given the wildfires currently burning, I have increased and rescheduled the number of episodes related to fires and health. We will likely return to an every two week schedule later this Fall.

Alastair Hay, now Emeritus Professor of Environmental Toxicology at the University of Leeds, is a chemist who's had a dual career as an academic researcher and an outspoken activist and campaigner. The common theme has been the application of his knowledge to how chemicals affect our lives, in the workplace and during conflicts. Alastair Hay is best known for his work to rid the world of chemical weapons, a concern about this horrific form of warfare that goes back to the use of Agent Orange in the Vietnam War. His work culminated in the Chemical Weapons Convention, which came into force in 1997, outlawing their production, stockpiling and use. He spent his childhood in Zimbabwe and returned to the UK when he won a scholarship from Shell to study chemistry in London in the late 1960s. After a spell working on the biochemistry of animals, including a stint at London Zoo where one of his more difficult jobs was taking blood from penguins, he moved on to studying the effects of chemicals on humans. Jim al-Khalili talks to Alastair Hay about his love of chemistry and his shock to see that chemical weapons are still being used over twenty years after the signing of the Convention.

Detoxification has never been more important. Since World War II, approximately 80,000 new commercial synthetic chemicals have been released into the environment. In 1974, the World Health Organization stated that 84% of chronic degenerative diseases are caused by environmental toxins. Clearly – we are living in an age when detoxification isn’t an option but a necessity. In this episode, you’re going to learn exactly what “toxicity” is, what you can do about it, and the most effective form of detoxification you probably have never heard of. You see, if we have an effective means of removing the cause of chronic disease (toxins), then people can experience true health, without the symptomology often associated with aging. The most effective means to date is found in a naturally occurring mineral. Zeolites are a class of minerals formed from different chemical processes from volcanic eruptions and are nature’s way to clean the environment. Acting like a magnet, these negatively charged zeolites bind to heavy metals and other positively charged toxins in the environment. Clayton Thomas, environmental toxicology and detoxification expert, joins Dr. Zyrowski on this episode of Excel Radio to discuss the most effective way to safely, naturally, and gently detoxify the body, using a water-soluble zeolite solution called Vitality Detox Drops. The creators of the Vitality Detox Drops have harnessed this naturally occurring mineral and have made it water soluble, meaning it is now an effective way to bind to these toxins within the human body. The water-soluble fragments found in Vitality Detox Drops are over a million times smaller than other zeolite formulas. They have the powerful capability to permeate cellular membranes to aid in cellular detoxification. There is even evidence that the negatively charged solution is crossing the blood-brain barrier, allowing it to bind to toxins and escort them away from the brain and out of the body. The true magic of zeolite detoxification is that it is passive in nature, so it does not cause stress to your detox organs (liver and kidney). Vitality Detox Drops binds to heavy metals, molds, glyphosate, Asian orange, Lyme spirochetes, fluoride, chlorine, and more environmental toxins to enhance health. In this episode: The reason miscarriage rates are so high and why there are so many neurological issues with our children today. The difference between different types of detoxes, including zeolite detoxification, food baths, liver cleanses, colon cleanse, chelation and more. How to use zeolite solutions to get a gentle and deep cellular detox. Who needs to be detoxing and how long should you detox for How weight loss can cause toxic overload What to do to get over your weight loss plateau Most effective way to bind toxins while they are in your body How to safely detox heavy metals, biotoxins, Lyme and environmental toxins Get you Vitality Detox Drops here.

In a recent Molecular, Clinical and Environmental Toxicology journal article , the authors report that: "Heavy metals are naturally occurring elements that have a high atomic weight and a density at least 5 times greater than that of water. Their multiple industrial, domestic, agricultural, medical and technological applications have led to their wide distribution in the environment; raising concerns over their potential effects on human health and the environment. Their toxicity depends on several factors including the dose, route of exposure, and chemical species, as well as the age, gender, genetics, and nutritional status of exposed individuals. Because of their high degree of toxicity, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, and mercury rank among the priority metals that are of public health significance. These metallic elements are considered systemic toxicants that are known to induce multiple organ damage, even at lower levels of exposure. They are also classified as human carcinogens (known or probable) according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer. This review provides an analysis of their environmental occurrence, production and use, potential for human exposure, and molecular mechanisms of toxicity, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity." Since it's been a little while since we've visited , and since I've personally found everything from high levels of bacterial iron to manganese in my own well water, I figured I'd bring on an expert doc when it comes to the topic of heavy metal testing and chelation. My guest, Dr. Greg Mongeon is a wellness physician who has been providing healthcare services for more than a decade. He's an Ironman triathlete, team doc for and incredibly proficient at diagnosing the hidden root cause of numerous health challenges by utilizing cutting-edge diagnostic approaches with research-based laboratory analysis. During our discussion, Dr. Greg and I talk about... -The urine heavy metal test kit Dr. Greg sent me, and how I'm supposed to be using it.. -How you test for heavy metals, and the important difference between provoked and non-provoked testing... -What chelation is and what products are used to chelate, including the warnings about DMSA... -Who should be concerned about heavy metal toxicity... -Why heavy metal testing is NOT for everyone... -How long it takes to properly chelate heavy metals... -Why IV Chelation can be dangerous... -If it's safe to chelate if you have silver fillings in your mouth... -And much more!

It is rare for a professor, at any university, to be responsible for a unit that receives the highest award a state’s environmental quality agency can bestow. But, that is what happened to Ron Kendall and The Institute of Environmental and Human Health (TIEHH) that he has directed for twelve years at Texas Tech. The Texas Environmental Excellence Award, was one of only ten statewide and was conferred on TIEHH by Governor Rick Perry at a banquet in Austin this past May. And, well-deserved it was for a unit that has done seminal work on the effects of biohazards on our environment, practically all of it made possible by extramural grants and contracts from the federal government and both national and international corporations. Kendall’s contributions and leadership have been notable, but the research and service contributions have also come with outstanding educational benefits to students. As chair of the Department of Environmental Toxicology, located within the College of Arts and Sciences, Kendall has guided the development of a doctoral program that recently was hailed as the best of its kind in the nation. When Ron Kendall came to Texas Tech in 1997 he had an integrated vision of teaching/learning, research and service for an environmental toxicology program that has since captured worldwide attention. Kendall’s integrated-scholar approach was pivotal in making it happen.

He was consulting toxicologist that did testing on the safety and efficacy of medical devices, drugs and cosmetics from the mid 70s through the mid 80s. Since 1984, he has consulted in Environmental Toxicology, Immunotoxicology and Human Health effects from toxic exposures to private citizens as well as practicing physicians. He has collaborated in many scientific peer reviewed papers on formaldehyde, mold and mycotoxins, hydrogen sulfide, and insecticides. He is an author or co-author on the adverse health effects (neurological and immunological) in humans following exposure to damp indoor spaces. His most recent manuscript published in Toxicology and Industrial Health is titled "The biocontaminants and complexity of damp indoor spaces: more than meets the eyes". This manuscript reviews molds, gram negative and positive bacteria, mycotoxins, endotoxins, 1-3-beta glucans, galactomannans, particulates and MVOCs present in damp indoor spaces. All of these biocontaminants impinge upon occupants affecting various organ systems and more likely than not have synergistic toxic actions. Dr. Thrashers areas of expertise include: Formaldehyde in trailers and Mobile Homes; organophosphate pesticides, chlorinated pesticides; herbicides, pyrethroids, organic solvents including chlorinated (TCE, PCE); Indoor air microbial (fungi and bacteria) and their by-products in water damaged homes, public buildings and schools; and hydrogen sulfide. He has testified as an expert witness in many legal cases for plaintiffs and defendants.

Last week, a widely circulated Associated Press story reported that "a vast array of pharmaceuticals — including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones — have been found in he drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans." Derek and Swoopy look beyond the headline hype in their interview with Dr. Shane Snyder, who published his first study on "Screening of Drinking Water for Possible Endocrine Disrupting Compounds" over ten years ago. As a doctor of Environmental Toxicology and Zoology, Dr. Snyder has devoted most of his career to studying the evidence of chemical, environmental and pharmaceutical compounds in the water supply—and what harm, if any, it poses to the organisms that utilize it.
