Toxic effect: carbon tetrachloride - what does this mean
Carbon tetrachloride toxicity occurs when a person is exposed to high levels of the chemical, either through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. it can cause a range of symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, confusion, and difficulty breathing. long-term exposure can lead to liver and kidney damage, as well as damage to the nervous system.
What happens during the disease - toxic effect: carbon tetrachloride
Toxic effects of carbon tetrachloride occur when the chemical is metabolized in the liver, producing a toxic metabolite called trichloromethyl free radical. this free radical can bind with cellular macromolecules such as proteins, lipids, and dna, leading to disruption of normal cell function and ultimately cell death. in addition, carbon tetrachloride can cause oxidative stress in tissues, leading to further cell damage and inflammation. the most common symptoms of carbon tetrachloride toxicity are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and liver damage.
