WARM-UP
1. Turn in homework1. Turn in Lab Notebook at the end of the period
2. Put signed papers in PER 1-2 INBOX
2. Take out a scratch sheet of paper and solve the following
3. List out things you consider a toxin. What is not a toxin?

Paracelsus, 1493 - 1541
“The right dose differentiates a poison and a remedy”

What is LD50?
LD 50 (Lethal Dose 50)is the dosage or amount of a chemical that causes 50% of the population react (usually die). For Example: An experiment testing tobacco gives
10 people ½ a teaspoon of tobacco. How many people should die if the LD50 is ½ a teaspoon?
![Page 6: Project info](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/555563fab4c90530208b551a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How would you find the LD50 of a chemical?
Toxicologists find the LD50 by performing a test called dose-response assessments where they expose model organisms to varying concentrations of a chemical.

EDCsEndocrine disrupting compounds
Incidences of altered reproductive health grouped by geographic area, suggesting an environmental cause
Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs)- alter hormonal and homeostatic systems

Endocrine system
Diamanti-Kandarakis et al. 2009
System of communication between tissues via chemical signals (e.g. hormones) that regulates:
Development
Growth
Metabolism
Reproduction
Calcium regulation
Immune function
Glucose homeostasis
Digestion
Circadian rhythm
Formation of adipose tissue
![Page 16: Project info](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/555563fab4c90530208b551a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
EDCs- chemical intruders
How can chemicals alter reproductive health?
Endocrine system uses chemical signals (hormones) - how tissues “talk” to each other
Endocrine system critical for gonad development and reproductive function
Internal signal

Limited knowledge about EDCs
How can we identify which chemicals act like hormones?
What are the effects?
What happens when we’re exposed to low-dose mixtures?
How can we calculate risk?
Where are these compounds found in the environment?
1996 Congress passed legislation to create the EPA Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program to assess potential risk to human health and wildlife

2. Choose a toxin you are interested in experimenting with Types of toxins I have readily available
(http://www.pesticideinfo.org/List_AquireAll.jsp?Rec_Id=PC42993&Taxa_Group=Fish) Caffeine Theobromine (chocolate) Thymol (thyme) Cinnamic Acid Cinnamaldehyde Ethyl Vanillin Vanillin Ibuprofen Detergent and Oil
3. Test the toxin on Daphnia to find the LD50 and a heart rate response

What to do
Get into groups of 2-3
Think and research about where you want to get water samples from and what toxin you are interested in testing and why.
.Research already known effects of toxin and save it on a google doc or any file. You will need it later. Keep a list of sources too!!
Tell Quanina when you have decided.
