Approximately half of the world s population now lives in urban areas, and half of these people suffer an atmosphere containing harmful amounts of substances such as sulfur dioxide, ozone, and particulate matter.

In 1957, Schwartz and associates showed that the toxic element selenium was also a nutritional factor essential for prevention of the death of liver cells in rats.527 Liver necrosis would be prevented by as little as 0.1 ppm of selenium in the diet. Similar amounts of selenium were shown to prevent a muscular dystrophy called "white muscle disease" in cattle and sheep grazing on selenium-deficient soil. Sodium selenite and other inorganic selenium compounds were more effective than organic compounds in which Se had replaced sulfur. Keshan disease, an often fatal heart condition that is prevalent among childen in Se-deficient regions of China, can be prevented by supplementation of the diet with NaSe03.528 Even the little crustacean "water flea" Daphnia needs 0.1 part per billion of Se in its water.529... [Pg.822]

Ecstasy use is associated with physiological damage to a number of body systems. These include the heart, brain, liver, kidneys, and the body s ability to regulate temperature. Ecstasy increases heart rate and blood pressure, which is especially dangerous for someone with a known or unknown heart condition, but can also cause an irregular heartbeat in an ordinarily healthy person. An irregular heartbeat means the heart pumps less effectively therefore the blood flow to the brain and other organs is not adequate. This condition increases the risk for heart attack, stroke, and other types of heart failure. [Pg.184]
