Pretend that you work for the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A new, small molecular weight, inorganic iron sulfur complex has been developed for incorporation into plastic pipe materials to improve tensile strength in commercial pipes utilized for water transport. You suspect that this compound is leaching into the water supply from the pipes and may produce acute toxicity at high doses and chronic toxicity at low moderate doses.
You take the initiative to propose to perform some of the experiments needed to assess the potential toxicological dose response to this compound.
Propose an animal model protocol and two experiments to assess the potential toxicological dose response to this compound in tissues (Hint: look in the primary literature to see how animal models are presented in research — these as well as the lecture slides are attached in case needed, but they cannot be referenced or quoted, they must all be in my own words).
In your answer address:
– animal species: provide reasons why you select the one you select.
– Exposure routs: explain why you select the rout you select
– Exposure window: explain how and why you selected the exposure window
– Choose a single tissue or organ of your choice to design the two experiments with necessary controls to test toxicity end points in the chosen tissue or organ.
– Experiments should address acute and chronic toxicity.
– Each experiment should include an independent, testable hypothesis that is based upon the biochemistry, cell biology, physiology, of the tissue/organ you choose.
– Describe how you will measure the LD50.
