3. ACETONE Definition: A strong smelling, clear liquid
Example: Nail Polish Remover
Some Health Concerns have been expressed about the effects of Acetone. For example, some sources suggest that exposure to moderate-to-high amounts of acetone can irritate the eyes and respiratory system, and make people feel dizzy.

4. AMMONIA
Definition: a colorless gas with a characteristic strong smell.
Example: cleaning supplies
Tobacco companies discovered that adding ammonia to the cigarette manufacturing process helps convert bound nicotine molecules in tobacco smoke into free nicotine molecules. This process is known as “freebasing.” Similar to the chemical process of freebasing cocaine, the end result is an enhanced effect of the drug on the user.

5. BENZENE Definition: A colorless, flammable, toxic, liquid.
Example: gasoline
Benzene is known to cause cancer, based on evidence in both people and lab animals. The link between benzene and cancer has largely focused on leukemia and cancers of other blood cells.

6. CADMIUM Definition: toxic metal Example: batteries Nausea, vomiting
Diarrhea
Muscle cramps
Salivation
Sensory disturbances
Liver injury
Convulsions
Shock
Renal failure

7. CARBON MONOXIDE Definition: a colorless, odorless toxic flammable gas
Example: Car Exhaust
Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide exposure may mimic influenza and include fatigue, headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, mental confusion, and rapid heart rate. Depending on the level of Exposure, Carbon Monoxide can be immediately fatal.

8. FORMALDEHYDE Definition: gas used to preserve.
Example: save dead bodies
Lab studies have shown that exposure to formaldehyde could cause nasal cancer in rate, and some studies of industrial workers have suggested that formaldehyde exposure might be associated with nasal cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer in humans

9. LEAD Definition: naturally occurring metal.
Example: old pencils or paint.
Lead poisoning affects nearly every system in the body, and may occur without noticeable symptoms. Low but ongoing exposure over time can affect the developing nervous systems (children are most at risk) in subtle but persistent ways

10. MERCURY Definition: a heavy silvery-white, very poisonous metal
Example: old thermometer.
In adults, Mercury poisoning can adversely affect fertility and blood pressure regulation and can cause memory loss, tremors, vision loss, and numbness of the fingers and toes. A growing body of evidence suggests that exposure to mercury may also lead to heart disease.

11. TAR Definition: dark, thick, flammable liquid Example: road pavement.
The idea was that the filter would trap harmful tars and nicotine, but the design never worked as well as hoped. Toxins still make it through and into the smoker’s lungs, exposing them to the risks of smoking-related disease.

12. ARE THE CHEMICALS REALLY THAT BAD?

13. The Respiratory System

14. TURN AND TALK How does your body pull air in and push air out?
Where does air travel when it enters the body?
How does air move into your blood?

15. How does the Respiratory System Work?

19. Passage of Air to the Lungs
Enters through the Nose/Mouth
Goes through the Esophagus
Passes the Epiglottis
Enters the Trachea
Breaks off into the Left and Right Bronchi (Enters Lungs)
Enters Bronchioles
Goes through Alveoli (Covered by Capillaries that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide)

20. How Breathing Works Inhaling:
Your diaphragm moves down and your ribcage moves up, creating more room in your chest. This causes air to flow into your body through the nose/mouth. The air then moves past the epiglottis and into the trachea and bronchi.

21. How Breathing Works
Exhaling:
Your diaphragm moves up and your ribs move down, pushing air out of your lungs. The air, now containing carbon dioxide, moves back through

22. Captain Oxygen Storyboard
Using your PowerPoint notes, please complete the mission below.
Healthy comics just hired you as a new comic strip writer and artist. For your first project, you’ve been assigned to write and illustrate a comic strip about Captain Oxygen’s journey through the Human respiratory system.
All 9 blanks must be filled in and the bottom lines must be captions explaining which step in the journey Captain Oxygen is.
