The paper should include the following:
Introduction: Describe your topic, tell where it was found and its route (s) of exposure, the chemical structure if any, should be not be placed here but at the end (See#3). Tell the how it affect the environment or humans. Give the risk assessment of the active component of the toxin or pollutant. Tell what governing agency regulates your toxin or pollutant. Give the Environmental Protection Agency or Centers for Disease control standard guideline that is how much humans or animals are exposed to a toxin or pollutant to show any health problems (LD50 or IC50).
Adverse Health
You should describe adverse health effect in humans or other animals (for example rats, marine life, fish phytoplankton, etc). Tell how long the pollutant or toxin is degraded or how long the active component persistence in the environment or the body. Tell exposure toxicity of your pollutant or toxin that is, chronic or acute. If so, what are the values for chronic or acute toxicity exposure?
Biological Activity:
In this section, you should discuss any in vitro and in vivo (animal) laboratory studies conducted on your pollutant or
toxin. Tell how the body breakdown of the toxin or pollutant and dispose it. Is there an antidote to counteract the action of the toxin or pollutant? If not, is there a basic understanding of how it may work? Specifically, tell whether the pollutant or toxin endocrine disruptor or immune disruptor or change cellular function? What cellular processes are affected?
Clinical Studies:
Have any clinical studies been conducted? (Specifically, what studies have included test on human subjects?) If so, what were the findings and recommendations? What are the symptoms/benefits of the toxin or pollutant? What was the concentration level the animals were exposed to in the studies?
Discussion:
Summarize your findings. How does this all piece together? Explain why this particular toxin or pollutant has been important to human health and what role do you think it will play in the future of human health.
