Environment tropical

Cyasin, a component of the nut of the cycad tree, a native of tropical environs, produces an acute toxicity in addition to drastically increasing the incidence of Lou Gerhig s disease (amyotropic lateral sclerosis). Cyasin is carcinogenic (102). 

Corrosion in tropical environments has been the subject of several papers, some of which deal with corrosion at bimetallic contacts .

The hostility of certain moisture environments can be seen in Fig. 15.11 Aluminum joints were bonded with room temperature curing epoxy-polyamide adhesive and aged in a hot, wet (tropical) environment and in a hot, dry (desert) environment. Excellent durability is achieved under dry conditions while significant degradation is caused by the wet conditions. 

In the marine environment, cyanobacteria are emerging as contributors to HABs, especially in tropical environments however, their impact is likely more pronounced on the ecological structure of shallow-water reef systems than on human populations. But in some locations, such as the East Coast of Australia, extensive blooms of Lyngbya majuscula, which produce the hepatotoxic lyngbyatoxins, have influenced human health. Nevertheless, some populations of this same species from elsewhere in the world do produce neurotoxic natural products, as reviewed in the latter part of...
