Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We define the toxic agents as the chemical substances which disturb homeostatic balance in the process of life. It can sometimes cause death. Some molecule, metal ion, cluster (nano meter sized crystal) and complex substance of them can be toxic. But we have to think about it much deep. For example, carcinogenic substance and toxic substance might be known as belonging to the different notions. Asbestos, however, causes methoterioma 30 years after the exposure, leading to death. Can it be called toxic agent? For another example, workers in saltpeter mine have a chance of Nitric Oxide (NO) poisoning. Because the blood concentration of NO is lowest on Monday morning, the number of angina cases is highest. Though the more we extend the definition, the more we have to deal with so many topics on the toxic agents, we urge researchers from variety of fields to submit for this issue.
