This is everywhere: in every detail, every view. All around her, jagged voltage profaned the bridge with ugly blue fingers and left sparks wherever it touched. Now she knew all about balancing the equation.

Delving into definitions

Research on this vulnerable period is extremely important, yet exposures during other periods of life can be problematic as well. It often causes my sunglasses to fog up! ToxCast , Tox21 , CompTox Engineered 3-D cell models to better simulate tissue-level responses to toxicants Genetically diverse animal models to predict inter-individual sensitivity to toxicants. For example, if a chemical is activated or detoxified by an enzyme in our bodies, reductionist assays would not adequately reflect these changes — and thus their prediction would not be fully relevant to human health. Even though Seattle has the reputation of having fairly good air quality, the American Lung Association State of the Air Report indicates that there is still enormous room for improvement.
