Even though a small exposure to methylmercury may occur from bacterial methylation of inorganic mercury in the oral cavity, this exposure would be far lower than methylmercury exposure via fish consumption.
B&B said it had only a small exposure to CDOs and other structured investment vehicles.
There have been studies on rats, and they got infertile after a small exposure to plasticizers.
Consequently, even a small canopy exposure suffices to modulate some abundant cellular proteins; 27% of these proteins were changed when only one leaf was UV-B-irradiated.
"Even a small amount of exposure to secondhand smoke can increase blood clotting, constrict blood vessels and can cause a heart attack," said Dr. Neal L. Benowitz, a professor of medicine, psychiatry and biopharmaceutical sciences at the University of California, San Francisco, and a member of the panel.
Both CO and NH3 are toxic, and even a small amount of exposure for a given period could lead to fatality, where detection of the former can be difficult due to its characteristics, having no odor and color, while the latter becomes dangerous for the environment in an anhydrous state, flammable, and can form explosive mixtures with air, especially for agricultural industries [12 14].
Experts have warned that even a small amount of exposure could lead to permanent blurry vision or blindness.
For a hypothetical person on the verge of the threshold, even a small one-time exposure might be all it takes to move the internal state just enough to cross the threshold, and so toxicities that appear in some people only after prolonged, ongoing, and substantial exposure should appear in those on the verge of response after only momentary small exposures.
Indeed, experimental data suggest that even a small amount of smoke exposure may trigger an immune reaction leading to development of RA [ 22, 23] and therefore, even light smoking is theoretically enough to induce RA.
Thus, even a small effect of an exposure to early adverse SEP on adult cognitive function is likely to have greater impact on the Brazilian population as a whole, due to the higher prevalence of such adversities in the country.
