superpoison
Superpoison is a term used to describe substances that are highly toxic or lethal to living organisms, often at extremely low doses. The concept underscores the potency of certain chemicals that, even in minute quantities, can cause severe or fatal biological effects. The term is sometimes used in toxicology and pharmacology to emphasize the dangers associated with substances that exceed typical toxic thresholds.
Many natural and synthetic compounds qualify as superpoisons. Certain plant toxins, such as ricin or botulinum
The biological mechanism behind superpoisons often involves interference with vital cellular processes, such as disrupting enzyme
Due to their high toxicity, superpoisous substances pose significant risks to humans, animals, and ecosystems. Handling
Efforts to understand and detect superpoisous compounds have advanced through research in toxicology, chemistry, and security.
