Is Agent Orange a sativa or an Indica?

Is Agent Orange a sativa or an Indica?

Agent Orange is a Sativa-dominant hybrid known for its orange, spicy taste that delivers a potent cocktail of Sativa effects. New users should be aware that the cerebral effects of this strain have been called “almost trippy”.

How long does dioxin stay in the body?

7 to 11 years

What does dioxin smell like?

Dioxins are chemical compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and chlorine. They are by-products of chemical reactions, such as waste burning and the manufacture of steel, paint and gasoline. There are about 200 different dioxins, which have no smell or color.

What foods are high in dioxin?

Fatty foods such as meat, poultry, seafood, milk, egg and their products are the major dietary sources of dioxins. Accidental exposure to large amount of dioxins could lead to the development of chloracne, a skin condition, excessive body hair and other skin lesions such as skin rashes and skin discolouration.

Which city has highest level of cancer causing dioxins in the world?

China has been identified as the largest dioxin emitter in the world. Annual dioxin emission in China from 10 source groups was 10.2 kg TEQ in 2004, accounting for about 30% of global total emissions14,15.

Which city has highest level of cancer?

Most Cancer-Prone City #1: Corpus Christi, TX.

Which PCBs are dioxin like?

They include:

• Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), or simply dioxins.
• Polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), or furans.
• Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), derived from biphenyl, of which 12 are “dioxin-like”.
• Polybrominated compounds of the above classes may have similar effects.

Is dioxin a PCB?

Dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are toxic chemicals that persist in the environment and accumulate in the food chain. Dioxins and some PCBs referred to as dioxin-like PCBs (due to their similar toxicological properties) are often considered together within the context of public health.

Is dioxin still used today?

Industrial activities: Dioxin is not produced or used commercially in the United States. In fact, a large part of current exposures to dioxins in the United States is due to releases that occurred decades ago (e.g., pollution, fires).

Are furans toxic?

Dioxins and furans is the abbreviated or short name for a family of toxic substances that all share a similar chemical structure. Of all of the dioxins and furans, one, 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro-p-dibenzo-dioxin (2,3,7,8 TCDD) is considered the most toxic.

How much dioxin is lethal?

The oral 50% lethal dose (LD50) in animals varies from 0.0006 to 0.045 mg/kg. Daily dermal exposure to 10–30 ppm in oil or 100–3000 ppm in soil produces toxicity in animals. Chloracne is likely with daily dermal exposure exceeding 100 ppm.

Can dioxins kill you?

“The lethal dose of dioxin in humans isn’t known because there has been no previous case I am aware of,” says Alastair Hay, a toxicologist and chemical weapons expert at Leeds University. “Most other examples of dioxin poisoning come from skin contact through industrial accidents or occupational exposure.”

Is Agent Orange a dioxin?

Agent Orange was a herbicide mixture used by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. Much of it contained a dangerous chemical contaminant called dioxin. Production of Agent Orange ended in the 1970s and is no longer in use. The dioxin contaminant however continues to have harmful impact today.

Is dioxin the most toxic substance?

Short-term exposure to high levels impairs the liver function and causes chloracne. The most sensitive population to dioxin exposure are the foetuses and infants. A large number of health effects have been documented in the scientific literature, and they all place dioxins among the most toxic chemicals known to man.
