The teaching staff in the College of Education for Pure Sciences/Department of Life Sciences, Prof. Dr. (Ashwaq Kazem Obaid) obtained the acceptance to publish a scientific article tagged with the title (Preservatives and their impact on human health) by the Scientific Articles Committee at the Presidency of Karbala University after the article fulfilled all publication conditions. (Prof. Ashwaq Kazem Obaid) mentioned that when a person is exposed to the organic compound carbon tetrachloride orally or through inhalation through the nose or skin, this exposure leads to a reduction in the activity of the central nervous system, and also affects the digestive system with several effects. Such as nausea, vomiting and fatigue, as well as its effect on the tissues of the kidneys and liver. This compound is considered to have a toxic effect on the liver in humans, and it is fast in appearance and effect. When the liver organ is exposed to this compound for 30 minutes, it leads to changes in fat metabolism, and when the liver is exposed for one hour, this leads to changes in tissues, and decomposition of liver fat and death occurs. The localization of its cells after 1 to 4 days of exposure to this compound, which are among the symptoms of liver poisoning, and that the liver is affected after the central nervous system is affected, as well as an increase in liver enzymes. It also causes damage to the phospholipid double layer in the cell membranes, and cirrhosis of the liver due to the effect of carbon tetrachloride increases the level of glucose in the blood and reduces the activity of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate due to the decrease in the activity of microsomes (micro bodies) in the liver as a result of the toxicity caused by tetrachloride Carbon, also leads to a decrease in the amount of total protein.
