Prévention du risque chimique

Water is healthy, even vital, but can also be toxic in large amounts. We do not have to worry about becoming dehydrated under normal circumstances, if we drink when we're thirsty and stop when we're not. It can be dangerous if we force ourselves to drink exorbitant amounts of water and don't listen to our bodies. In this part, we have a look at treating water poisoning and at an effective biochemical control system in our bodies which takes care of our optimal daily water intake.

Pollutants, inorganic or organic, ionic or neutral, have the unmistakeable sign of men kind. They are the slow dead, which kills the life in our planet, kills our kids too, and kills us as well. Does life in Earth have a chance? This is a difficult question to answer. The pollution is so intense in some places of our planet that life has become compromise in them.

A recent study involving more than 30 000 women in the USA suggests that endocrine-disrupting pollutants, EDPs, are linked to earlier menopause. Just as another study done over 2 732 women suggesting that polyfluoroalkyl Chemicals has the same effects as EDPs. And what to say about the recent report alerting the raising mercury content in tuna at a level of 3.8% per year since 1998? Countless examples can be given.

The question still remains: are humans driving the planet till dead?

This question will be answered, or better to say, try to be answered during the 2nd International Conference on Pollutant Toxic Ions and Molecules, PTIM2017 that will be held in November 2017 in Caparica, Portugal.

n summer, people are often worried about potential dehydration. Out of fear of drying out internally, some people scarcely leave the house anymore without carrying a full two-liter water bottle. Paracelsus already warned us that it is only the dose that causes some things to be transformed into poisons. Let that be our starting point in examining whether water in excess might perhaps become poisonous. So we shall deeply immerse ourselves, conceptually, in a very large amount of water.
