It sounds like the Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries in their cars are both heavier and more toxic than the alternative.
Finally, these experiments suggest that isradipine is a more potent and less toxic alternative to nimodipine for treating the neurotoxic effects of amyloid peptides, justifying a more comprehensive evaluation of its effects in mouse models of AD as a prelude to clinical trials.
Therefore, there was a strong demand for the development of a more cost-effective and less toxic alternative production process for lesinurad with higher overall yield.
More recently, we have developed a less toxic alternative comprising paclitaxel and etoposide alternating two weekly with paclitaxel and cisplatin (TE TP) (Wang et al, 2008).
Silicon compounds such as silicones, silanes, silsesquioxane, silica and silicates, some of which were developed as alternatives to more toxic halogenated products, can considerably improve the flame retardancy of plastic materials.
It is called Corexit, and, according to the Times, it is more toxic and less helpful than some alternatives.
Multi-drug resistance in these two species is associated with increased mortality, and has become sufficiently problematic in some locations that alternative therapy using older and more toxic agents such as polymyxins is sometimes considered the best option [ 17- 19].
Opponents of dredging noted that New Jersey had developed land-based alternatives for some of the more toxic and contaminated material, while New York had yet to do that.
Thus, more toxic agents such as polymyxins have been used as alternative therapeutic drugs against multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter infections (5, 6 ).
The latest WHO guidelines recommend replacing older drugs long-abandoned in high-income countries with more durable and less toxic alternatives, but because these newer drugs are more expensive, developing countries are reluctant to make the change [ 11].
