Ingested or inhaled, lead enters the bloodstream, where it inhibits the production of hemoglobin, which red cells need to carry oxygen. It also locks on to essential enzymes in the brain and nervous system, inactivating them. Symptoms of lead poisoning include abdominal pains, muscular weakness and fatigue; severe exposure can cause nervous-system disorders, high blood pressure and even death...
...nuclear bombs in the allied arsenal, they disperse a highly volatile mist over a large area. When this cloud is ignited in a second explosion, the resulting blast packs nearly the wallop (but, of course, not the radiation) of a small nuclear device. The bombs also suck up oxygen, pulling the lungs and other organs of stricken troops partially out of their bodies. The mist from some fuel-air bombs can penetrate bunkers before detonating. Another advantage is that while the force of a conventional explosion decreases rapidly as one moves away from the center of the blast, the concussion...
...deadly new weapons into the war zone. A U.S. military officer in the Saudi of Riyadh said today that fuel-air explosive bombs are being used. The devices detonate above the ground, spewing a fine mist of propane-like fuel that is ignited, creating a fireball that sucks up oxygen and incinerates everything within range...
Although they have no direct evidence,clinicians have seen oxidized LDL (LDL which hasabsorbed oxygen ions) devastate cells grown inpetri dishes, and they have suggested that itwould cause similar damage--perhaps even promotecancer growth--when shuttling through thecirculatory system of a human...
Protoporphyria victims suffer from a defectiveenzyme, which causes the protoporphyrin moleculeto seep into the subject's skin rather thanincoporating itself into the oxygen-carryinghemoglobin in the bloodstream, where it belongs.At the body's surface, the errant molecule reactswith oxygen in the air, causing severe itching andburning...
