In the chapter opener, you considered how the terms "natural" and "chemical" are used inaccurately. A natural substance is a substance that occurs in nature and is not artificial. A chemical is any substance that has been made using chemical processes in a laboratory. A chemical can also be defined as any substance that is composed of atoms. This definition covers most things on Earth. Go to the web site above, and click on Web Links to find out where to go next. Look up some nafura/poisons, pesticides, and antibiotics that are produced by animals, plants, and bacteria. Then look up some beneficial chemicals that have been synthesized by humans. Make a poster to illustrate your findings.

White phosphoms has been used in the manufacture of rat and cockroach poisons, pesticides, matchheads, firecrackers, and ammunitions in the military. However, other chemicals such as sulfur have replaced phosphorus in matchheads. Phosphoms is also used as a fumigant in the storage of grain in the form of aluminum phosphide pellets. Due to ease of application, pellets of aluminum or magnesium phosphide are commonly used (Garry et al. 1989).

Any chemical substance may evoke a toxic effect. A chemical substance that exerts an injurious effect in the majority of cases when it comes into contact with living organisms is termed a poison. Pesticides, by necessity, am poisons. Familiar chronic responses to various irritants include silicosis, lung cancer, and necrosis of the liver or kidneys. However, the toxic effects of different pesticides and their formulations differ greatly. Two types of effects can be distinguished ...
