TL;DR: The mechanisms by which pyrethroids alone are toxic are complex and become more complicated when they are co-formulated with either piperonyl butoxide or an organophosphorus insecticide, or both, as these compounds inhibit pyrethroid metabolism.

TL;DR: Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidising agent that is used in a number of household products, including general-purpose disinfectants, chlorine-free bleaches, fabric stain removers, contact lens disinfectants and hair dyes, and it is a component of some tooth whitening products.

TL;DR: Glyphosate is used extensively as a non-selective herbicide by both professional applicators and consumers and its use is likely to increase further as it is one of the first herbicides against which crops have been genetically modified to increase their tolerance.

TL;DR: Urine alkalinization cannot be recommended as first line treatment in cases of phenobarbital poisoning as multiple‐dose activated charcoal is superior and there is no evidence to suggest that relatively short‐duration alkalemia poses a risk to life in normal individuals or in those with coronary and cerebral arterial disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduced a new group of anticoagulant rodenticides, referred to as superwarfarins, single dose or long-acting, which are used widely in agricultural and urban rodent control.
