Toxicity is a function of solubility. Insoluble compounds as well as the metallic forms often exhibit negligible toxicity. The toxicity of any metal depends on its ligands. Heavy metal toxicity can result in damaged or reduced mental and central nervous function, lower energy levels, and damage to blood composition, lungs, kidneys, liver, and other vital organs.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. WHAT IS ZINC?
Zinc(Zn) is a metallic chemical element and environmentally ubiquitous
and essential for life.
Zinc is the 25th most abundant element, accounting for approximately
0.02% by weight of the earth’s crust
Crystalline Zn is a bluish white metal, atomic weight, 65.38; atomic
number, 30; density, 7.13 g/cm3; melting point, 419.5°C; boiling
point,908°C;, Zn occurs only in the divalent state and does not occur as a
metal in nature
It’s essential requirement for a body health, total body content of zinc is
about 2 gm, ,about 60% of zinc is present in muscles and 30% in bones
,it is also present in the brain,liver and skin
zinc play a vital role in bringing a vitamin A from liver to the retina and
play important role in various signaling pathways ,cell prolifertion
,differentiation and apoptosis ..It’s essential for normal function of the
pancreas
3. SOURCES OF ZINC :
Atmospheric; mostly in aerosols in the oxidized form.
Water; present as simple hydrated metal ion, simple organic and
inorganic complexes , stable organic complexes, adsorbed on
organic and inorganic colloids.
soils
Foods:
1.Animal sources are Flesh Foods(meat), liver, milk(Cow milk) and
dairy products
2.Vegetables sources are legumes, pulses, nuts, beans, spinach and
cereal
The colostrum is an especially rich source.
4.
5. FUNCTION OF ZINC
Zinc is a cofactor of enzymes (LDH , Alkaline phosphatase , Carbonic anhydrase ,
SOD , Carboxy peptidase )
RNA polymerase requires Zn for protein biosynthesis ..
Zn –functions as an antioxidant.
synthesis of retinol binding protein require Zinc
Zinc required for immunological functions.
Zinc supplementation useful for treating acute diarrhea.
Zinc supplementation improves birth weight of babies.
Zn necessary to maintain normal levels of vitamin A. •
Storage & secretion of insulin from β- cells of pancreas requires Zn
Gustin –Saliva taste sensation
Zinc as an anti -cancer agent
Zn stabilizes membrane structure.
Zn is essential for proper reproduction.
6. USES OF ZINC :
Zinc can be found in many things, including:
Compounds used to make paint, rubber, dyes, wood
preservatives, and ointments
Rust prevention coatings
Vitamin and mineral supplements in treatment of acute
diarrhea in children, common cold and Wilson disease
Heated or burned galvanized metal (releases zinc fumes)
zinc compound is used as a common rodenticide such as
Zinc phosphide
Organo-Zn compounds are used as fungicides, topical
antibiotics, and lubricants Metal alloy manufacturing,
petroleum refineries, nufacturing, cosmetics, woodworking,
embalming,dentistry, military smoke bomb manufacturing,
topical ointments in medicine
7. DEFICIENCY OF ZINC
Zinc deficiency caused by: Dietary deficiency,malabsorption
(including inherited defect in zinc absorption), chronic alcoholism,
nephrotic syndrome, parental nutrition with inadequate zinc.
Clinical symptoms: Hypogonadism (impaired spermatogenesis)
Growth failure ,Loss of taste sensation ,Impaired wound healing
,Skin lesions such as dermatitis.
Acrodermatitis enteropathica: A rare inherited metabolic disease
of zinc deficiency.Caused by defective absorption of Zn in the
intestine.
8. RECOMMENDED DIETARY ALLOWANCES (RDAS)
FOR ZINC
Age Male Female Pregnancy Lactation
0–6 months 2 mg* 2 mg*
7–12 months 3 mg 3 mg
1–3 years 3 mg 3 mg
4–8 years 5 mg 5 mg
9–13 years 8 mg 8 mg
14–18 years 11 mg 9 mg 12 mg 13 mg
19+ years 11 mg 8 mg 11 mg 12 mg
9. TOXIC SALTS OF ZINC
Zinc is normally present in our body. Poisonous salts are compounds of
chloride, phosphide, sulfate (white vitriol), oxide and stearate.
Zinc stearate is used as a cosmetic (baby powder).Inhalation it may
cause pneumonitis.
Zinc chloride is used to clean metals before soldering. it is strong
corrosive action ,destroy mucous membrane of mouth , esophagus
and stomach .
Zinc phosphide is used as rodenticide. it steel grey crystlline powder
,garlic odor,react with gastric acid librete phosphin gas,cause dyspnea,
pulmonary odema ,bradycardia, circulatory collapse, neurological
symptoms, coma and death.
Zinc gluconate using as intranasal gel or spray but it used should be
avoided due to it cause loss of the sense of smell (irreversible
anosmia).
Zinc sulfate is used to treat and prevent zinc deficiency and in te
treatment of acute diarrhea in children
12. ROUTE OF EXPOSURE
Inhalation :
inhalation of Zn oxide fume generated by welding and certain other
industrial processes causes metal fume fever, a self-limited flu like illness
is an acute, manifested by fever, chills, myalgia, nausea, fatigue, and
infrequently shortness of breath that occurs after inhalation of Zn oxide
inhalation of Zn chloride, from smoke bombs, causes severe pulmonary
injury severe chemical pneumonia. and may be fatal.
Ingestion
Food or drink contaminated by exposure to galvanized surfaces can cause
nausea, vomiting, cramps, and diarrhea that is seldom fatal.
Dermal
mucous membrane exposure comes from aerosolized zinc compounds or
topical ointments containing zinc. Dermal symptoms toxicity generally
produces local irritation, dermatitis,erythema, and ulcerations
supplements rich in Zn

14. ZINC TOXICITY
Zinc toxicity is rare and can be either acute, leading to short term
side effects, or chronic, resulting in long term issues.
Salts of zinc are locally irritating, and after absorption cause
metabolic acidosis, hypocalcemia, damage to the liver and kidneys,
and affects the CNS.
The symptoms of acute toxicity will appear soon after taking a high
dose of zinc and can include: On ingestion, there is a metallic taste
,nausea, vomiting associated with irritation and corrosion GI tract,
The vomitus and the stool may contain blood,acute renal failure
,tubular necrosis , stomachache ,diarrhea ,headaches.
If taken high levels of zinc over a long period, they can experience
chronic zinc toxicity, which may lead to the following: low levels of
HDL , decreased immune function ,copper deficiency, Nausea,
gastric ulcer, pancreatitis, diarrhea,,excessive salivation, vomiting,
stomach cramps and anemia .
People who work in metallurgy, such as welders, can develop a
condition known as metal fume fever from Inhalation of zinc oxide .
15. FATAL DOSE
Zinc chloride: 40–70 mg/kg
Zinc phosphide: 20–40 mg/kg.
Zinc sulfate: 15 g (10–30 g).
Zinc oxide fumes: 500 mg/m³
Fatal period: 3–5 h to few days
16. MECHANISM OF TOXICITY:
Its mechanism is still unknown ,micromolar amounts of the free zinc ion
kills some organisms. The free zinc ion is a powerful Lewis acid up to
the point of being corrosive. When ingested, metallic zinc readily
dissolves in the hydrochloric acid of the stomach, and displaces the
chloride to give the corrosive zinc chloride.) can cause damage to the
stomach lining due to the high solubility of the zinc ion in the acidic
stomach.
Zinc toxicity has also been linked to alterations of blood lipoprotein
levels, with increased levels of LDL and decreased levels of HDL seen.
Zinc toxicity may take months to resolve.
Zinc toxicosis, however, can cause severe disease, and commonly
results in anaemia.. One hypothesis is that erythrocyte antioxidant
pathways are inhibited leading to erythrocyte membrane oxidative
damage These include direct damage of red blood cells
17. MECHANISM OF TOXICITY:
Copper deficiency secondary to excessive zinc intake has been well
described in patients taking large doses of supplemental zinc for
treatment of sickle cell anemia, aphthous ulcers, and prostate cancer, as
well as in zinc coin ingestion.These patients uniformly presented with
signs and symptoms of neutropenia and anemia either the microcytic or
sideroblastic .
zinc and copper have a competitive absorption relationship within
enterocytes mediated by metallothionein, a zinc- and copper-binding
protein that binds copper with greater affinity than zinc .
Metallothionein expression is regulated by dietary zinc content alone.
When large amounts of dietary zinc are ingested, metallothionein
expression increases, more zinc is bound to metallothionein and more
zinc-metallothionein complexes are excreted. Because of the difference
in binding affinities between zinc and copper (copper binds
metallothionein with greater affinity), a potential for pronounced copper
excretion exists. Therefore, a substantial increase in zinc ingestion
potentially would cause a dramatic decrease in copper absorption.
19. TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT
1. Metal fume fever is self-limiting.
2. Pulmonary symptoms may be treated
with oxygen and beta 2-adrenergic agonist therapy.
3. Aggressive fluid resuscitation may be
needed following oral exposure, as GI losses may be significant.
removal of the zinc source and supportive therapies, including blood
transfusion, intravenous fluid therapy, gastroprotectants , anti-nausea
medications, antioxidants, antibiotics, and sometimes chelation
When a metallic zinc object is ingested, increasing gastric pH with antacids
and gastroprotectants helps to reduce the rate of zinc dissolution until the
object can be removed. Chelation with d-penicillamine or calcium disodium
EDTA may be considered if zinc concentrations do not improve after
removal of the zinc source.
Calcium disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (CaNa2EDTA) is the chelator
of choice based on case reports that demonstrate normalization of zinc
concentrations, but there are few clinical data to confirm the efficacy of this
agent.
20. METAL FUME FEVER
is A flu-like, febrile syndrome including fever, chills,
headaches, cough, dyspnea, fatigue, and
myalgias that typically resolve within 36
hrs. Symptoms usually occur within 6 hrs
of exposure. that may occur after inhaling fumes from heated
metals.
This typically occurs during welding. Zinc oxide
There is no antidote. After removal from the source, the
symptoms are selflimiting.
Treatment is supportive and aimed at symptomatic relief
21. CASE STUDY
A 35 yr old woman had received treatment involving daily
oral doses of 440-660 mg zinc sulfate over a period of 10
months, plus a daily vitamin preparation amounting to an
additional 80 mg of zinc sulfate per day. The patient
subsequently developed a severe copper deficiency, involving
hypochromic-microcytic anemia, leukopenia and neutropenia.
This status could not be corrected by a 2-month oral dosing
period, but symptoms declined after a 5-day iv administration
at a total dose of 10 mg copper. It was concluded that the
elimination of excess zinc is slow and will block the intestinal
absorption of copper .
