toxicologists of metals

The Toxicologist has faced many problems over the years. On 9-11 in 2001 the World Trade Center was viciously attacked by terrorism and over 3000 people lost their lives. However over the following years it has been found that people who were exposed to the toxic dust from this event continue to suffer many lung, digestive, and malignant diseases. YOU are now a TOXICOLOGIST !!! You have finished section 1…ASSIGNMENT #1 now I expect you to think like a Toxicologist !

Below the TOXTUTOR materials you will find a paper by Dr PaulLioy and 20+ authors who did a chemical analysis of this toxic dust. I ask you to look at the HEAVY METALS…..and YOU ( the Toxicologist ) Pick one or possibly a “combination” of 2 heavy metals ….which you must now try to justify as the real CULPRITS in the continuing disease we see in people who had this exposure in the past !

YOU do some investigation….and write a 3-5 page paper ( double spaced …12 font ! ) include 5-6 references and try to explain (as a Toxicologist) why you think that ( those ) heavy metals could be the cause of the disease and death seen in those who were exposed ! Be sure to give chemical, biological, physiological, toxicological reason for your selection. I give you the Lioy paper ( but for you the important part is just the analysis of Heavy metals ) The PIE Chart is the best place to make your selection of metal or metals to study as a Toxicologist !
