“…On the basis of setting or assumption, numerous connotations may be ascribed to the term. 17 In chemistry, its definition is based on chemical behavior, 25 while for the Physicist; the distinct benchmark for heavy metals definition is atomic number, 26 whereas in metallurgy, it is defined by density. 27 The name “Heavy metals” refers to elements with a moderately high density which is lethal even at diminutive concentrations.…”

Toxicity arising from environmental contaminants has attracted global interest in the last few decades, due to the high morbidity and mortality associated with them. Efforts have been made to combat the consequential outcomes of environmental toxicity in humans through traditional remediation techniques and therapeutic measures which have been hampered by one or more limitations. Consequently, this scenario has triggered interest in the medicinal properties of phytochemicals. Thus, this review gives a succinct and in-depth elucidation of the various environmental contaminants and their toxicity effects on humans. It delves into the various classes of phytochemicals and their intervention roles. The study adopted a desk review of existing literatures from scientific reports and peer reviewed articles through triangulation of data sources. “Phytochemicals” are group of secondary metabolites obtained from plants with medicinal properties. These groups of compounds are included but not limited to flavonoids, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, cardenoloids, terpenoids, and phytosteroids. This review corroborates the prophylactic and therapeutics efficacy of these phytochemicals as anti-metastatic, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial and live saving substances with empirical findings from several laboratory, clinical trials and epidemiologic studies. It conclude that given the wide range of medicinal properties of phytochemicals, there is an urgent need for its full optimization in the pharmaceutical industry and future studies should focus on identifying the bioactive molecules in these compounds and its effectiveness against mixer toxicity.

“…According to [9], the bonding energy E ∼ 8 MeV is transmitted to the zirconium nucleus by a slow neutron with energy <100 keV penetrating the zirconium nucleus. Fission neutrons from both 235 U and 239 Pu have the average kinetic energy E = 2.00 ± 0.05 MeV [8]. Each zirconium nucleus that absorbed a fission neutron acquires the energy E ∼ 10 MeV.…”

“…It enabled to detect neutrons with different sensibility by the fragments of the U(n,f)-reaction. The surface density of layers was found by counts in the 2re-geometry with a-decay characteristics from [8]. To preclude the thermal neutron contribution the detectors were surrounded with 1 mm thick metallic cadmium.…”
