Capacity of plants

After the war, however, there was a large surplus capacity of plant for the manufacture of styrene and polystyrene together with a great deal of knowledge and experience that had been collected over the war years. It was therefore found possible to produce polystyrene, not as an expensive electrical insulator, but as a cheap general purpose thermoplastic. 

Some invaluable isolated actions were taken from time to time in the last twenty to twenty five years that prevented air quality from declining at an even faster rate. For example, energy demand was met (electricity and refined oil products) by expanding capacity of plants located outside of the MCMA a metro was built the vehicular traffic system was reordered and new hydrotreating, reforming and catalytic cracking units reduced lead and sulfur in refined products.

Plants probably act as maior oxidant sinks over both time and distance. However, it b important to remember that plants do not respond in a predictable way over time and are not active over the greater portion of the year. The total capacity of plants as sinks with or without harm to the receptors b not known.

DNA damage in the presence of cytochrome P450s (CYPs) and Cu(II) in vitro or in cells [Yoshino et al., 2004 Ahsan et al., 1999]. At higher concentrations curcumin exhibited genotoxicity and cytotoxicity in different systems [Cao et al., 2007]. At last, in vivo intervention trials using typical antioxidants such as ascorbate or carotenes yielded mostly disappointing results in terms of protection against oxidation-related diseases, sometime even increased the incidences of diseases [Stevenson and Hurst, 2007 Dinkova-Kostova and Talalay, 2008]. Obviously, the direct antioxidant capacity of plant phenolic compounds cannot explain their cytoprotective activities.
