Factors effecting respiration
There are several factors that affect respiration
Here are a few examples;
Drugs
Pollutants
Cyanide
Cigarettes and nicotine
Tar
Carbon monoxide
Carcinogens
These factors affect metabolic pathways in terms of how efficiently aerobic respiration can proceed.
Drugs
Different classes of drugs have various effects on the body. They can affect ventilation and breathing rate, thus having a knock-on effect on cellular respiration.
Depressants- slow brain activity and slow breathing rate. This affects oxygen intake which will affect the body’s ability to aerobically respire.
Hallucinogens- alter what we see and what we perceive as reality but the drug itself

Asbestos materials were widely used in construction in the past because they’re strong durable and fire-resistant. If you inhale minerals containing asbestos fibers macrophages that usually break down foreign particles release substances to destroy the asbestos fibers, but these substances cause damage to the alveoli in your lungs that cause permanent scarring. The alveoli are the gas exchange surface in the lungs to deliver the oxygen needed for cellular respiration and to remove the carbon dioxide released during cellular respiration. If they become damaged this will eventually influence the rate of respiration. Asbestosis can lead to lung cancer and can be …show more content…
The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations were amended in 1993 to enforce the substitution of any material containing asbestos, as far as it was possible.
Just one year before the end of the 20th century, a 1999 ruling saw the complete prohibition of the use and import of chrysotile, which was still being used as late as the 1980s and 1990s in construction materials and certain products.
Past the second millenium, in 2002 the “duty to manage” policy was introduced to provided further protection against asbestos exposure in the workplace. A year later, in 2003 the Asbestos (Licensing) Regulations were again amended to ensure the relevant authority would be notified of the details of any asbestos work which required a license, at least 14 days prior to work
A psychedelic drug is one that alters the brains perception and cognition. Drugs of this sort can cause visual hallucinations. People have said it feels as though everything is alive, breathing, dancing. Of course, like any drug, there is the possibility of having a “bad trip.” This is where things seemingly go wrong. The person tripping feels trapped, frightened, and extremely uncomfortable. The

This law places a duty on Tesco’s employers and employees to have their electrical systems constructed in a way that prevents danger. This includes testing all new equipment to ensure that it is safe, maintain their electrical systems correctly to prevent danger, have repaired or closed any electrical systems that cause danger.
... in the action of hallucinogens has provided a focal point for new studies. Is there a prototypic classical hallucinogen? Until we have the answers to such questions, we continue to seek out the complex relationship between humans and psychoactives.
Victorian Work Cover Authority is used to improve occupational health and safety practices within workplaces, by monitoring and developing new procedures to reduce risks to employees.
Cellular respiration is vital in the respiratory system cause cells in the body will die if the respiratory system fails.
The health and safety of employees in the workplace is protected by legislation provided under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (HASAWA) and its applicable regulations.
A very minute does can significantly alter ones perception to the point of hallucination. Hallucination is when a person hears, or sees thing that don’t really exist. LSD is the most potent hallucinate. Approximately 100 times stronger than psilocybin, and 4000 times stronger than mescaline.
Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder, also known as HPPD, is a disorder distinguished by the continual sensory disturbances, usually visual. In this paper, we will research the disorder, exploring causes, symptoms, treatments, etc. as well as look at case studies the were done to further understand the disease. Very few people have been diagnosed with HPPD so research is limited, so this paper will act as a summary of the disorder, how it relates to visual perception and how it is often portrayed with art.
In the history of mankind, the hallucinogens have probably been the most important of the narcotics. Their fantastic effects made the...
OSHA regulations give full disclosure to employees about workplace hazards. Businesses that produce or import chemicals of any sort must review the dangers associated with these chemicals and have them labeled accordingly. They must also prepare material safety data sheets to go with any delivered chemicals. This will describe technical information as well as hazardous effects from exposure and the appropriate protective measures. Any employees wh...
Your brain controls all of your perceptions; the way you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. Chemical messengers transmit information from nerve cell to nerve cell in the body and the brain. Your nerve cells are called neurons, and their chemical messengers are called neurotransmitters. Chemicals like hallucinogens can disrupt this communication system, and the results are changes in the way you sense the world around you. There's still a lot that scientists don't know about the effects of Hallucinogens on the brain though.
...ortant goal for environmental health is finding a way to prevent potential problems with such hazards and teaching their methods on to others to make for a more efficient protected work environment. Potential prevention methods if you work in a high-risk occupation or have a high-risk hobby, wear dust masks and do not smoke. You might also want to use other protection recommended by OSHA, such as a respirator. Silicosis has become less common since the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) created regulations requiring the use of protective equipment, which limits the amount of silica dust workers inhale.
Psychostimulant and hallucinogenic drugs can alter the brain’s mechanics and the way one interprets information. Methamphetamines for example, which are a potent stimulant, create a profound sense of euphoria in the consumer. It does this by releasing dopamine and other neurotransmitters from vesicles in the brain, into the central nervous system, changing the way one processes and interprets data. Thus, as a reductionist would argue, how can one perceive a subjective reality close to the real objective reality, when one’s perception can be determined by simple chemical reactions in the human brain? Can the chemistry of one’s brain be controlled? Even without drugs, at any point in time, there are millions of neurons co-ordinating in one’s central nervous system, all with the possibility of purging an
Firstly, drug use is not a concept new to the twenty-first century. The use of psychedelic/hallucinogenic drugs results in perception-altering effects manifested as
