We re all kind of entwined in this evolution that we re going through. The whole planet is out of balance right now, and we who have chemical sensitivities are suffering the consequences of that. And I don t think it s just those of us with chemical sensitivities, it s people with cancer and other illnesses created by our toxic environment.

Our questions broadened to consider how the transport and metabolic capabilities of these aquatic species compare with those of mammalian species. One reason for asking such a question is to assess whether the presence or absence of these capabilities alters the ability of fish to survive in toxic environments. Survival mechanisms fall into two catagories - behavioral and physiologic. An example of a behavioral mechanism could be as simple as a fish avoiding that area of a stream which contains toxic quantitites of phenol. When external perturbations caused by pollutants are small, homeostatic mechanisms such as those of the liver and kidney, allow fish to adapt to the body of water in which they exist. The problem then is related to defining the limits to which homeostatic phenomena can be stressed in aquatic species. An important reason to establish such information in fish is that bodies of water are the "ultimate sink" for a number of pollutants (12). Thus, while a behavioral response such as removing itself from a toxic environment is invariably available to a mammalian species, this type of response is impossible for a fish if a toxic xenobiotic occurs uniformly throughout an entire body of water.

Cesium reacts with water in ways similar to potassium and rubidium metals. In addition to hydrogen, it forms what is known as superoxides, which are identified with the general formula CsO When these superoxides react with carbon dioxide, they release oxygen gas, which makes this reaction useful for self-contained breathing devices used by firemen and others exposed to toxic environments.

The high activity that supported gold catalysts have shown for CO oxidation at ambient temperature makes them ideal candidates for use as respiratory protectors. A copper manganese oxide, Hopcalite, has been used for many years to remove CO in toxic environments. Thus, supported gold catalysts may be chosen in the future.

Reducing further exposure to a toxicant is crucial and may include removal of the patient from a toxic environment and the application of decontamination procedures. Immediate decontamination reduces absorption of toxic compounds and represents a primary essential aspect of the treatment regimen.
