Benzoic+acid+pesticides

=Background =  Some general information about Benzoic Acid is that it is a colorless crystalline solid. Crystalline solids are things that have atoms, ions, and/or molecules arranged in geometric, 3D structures. Nostradamus found benzoic acid in the 16th century. The name benzoic acid is a formation from gum benzoin. Benzoin resin as it was called or Styrax resin is a balsamic resin. It is obtained from bark off of several species of trees in the genus Styrax. Benzoin is used in things like perfumes, different types of incense, and medicine. Benzoic acid is its principle component.

Benzoic acids melting point is at 122 degrees Celsius and its boiling point is at 249 degrees Celsius. It is slightly soluble in water and ethanol, and is very slightly soluble in benzene and acetone. The water solution of benzoic acids is weakly acidic. It can be found in some plants and resins, even in some animals. 

=Health and Environmental =

Human Health Implications
Benzoic acid is toxic to humans. It includes carcinogenicity, which is radiation that causes cancer.

Also it includes reproductive and developmental toxicity. Reproductive toxicity means it has adverse effects on the male and female reproductive systems. Developmental toxicity causes adverse effects on the development of a child. It can include things like low birth weight, biological dysfunctions, or psychological or behavioral deficits.

Another thing is that it has neurotoxicity, which is made when exposed to manmade toxic substances, as well as exposure to heavy metals like lead and mercury. Also it is in certain foods and food additives(this acid and its salts are used as a food preservative), pesticides, cleaning solvents, cosmetics, and some naturally occurring substances. It can damage nervous tissue, which eventually damages the key cells (neurons).

The last thing is acute toxicity. Acute toxicity is influenced by chronic toxicity which are the adverse health effects from other exposures.

Environmental implications
It is mostly about internal issues. It causes more damage in your body because it is in things you eat, inhale, or use on your face. There are some environmental issues though.

Examples:

catalyzed by cobalt or manganese naphthenates

This process uses cheap raw materials, then goes in high yield, and is considered environmentally green.

=Synthesis and Production =

Benzoic acid is an important forerunner for the synthesis of many organic substances. It is also very cheap and available. The laboratory synthesis of benzoic acid is practiced for its teaching value. It’s a common undergraduate preparation and a easy property of the compound. Also its melting point which is equal to its molecular weight. Benzoic acid can be purified by re-crystallization from water. This happens because its high solubility in hot water and poor solubility in cold water. When you keep away the organic solvents for the re-crystallization it makes this experiment safer. Some other possible re-crystallization solvents include acetic acid (anhydrous or aqueous), benzene, petroleum ether, and a mixture of ethanol and water.

I think it should be band because it’s in things we use and its causes certain ingredients to destroy our bodies inside and outside.
