Dissection Bad For Environment

By

Dissection animal formaldehyde is known to be a hazardous air and water pollutant and waste material according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. When teachers or students dispose of the cut up animals with these toxic chemicals some simply throw them out in the trash and pour the liquid down the drain. Cities and towns have detected formaldehyde in their drinking water, rainwater, lake water, and other waterways.

Harmful Dissection

By

Did you know that traditional middle school and high school biology animal dissections can do more harm than good for students? There are psychological, physical and environmental dangers associated with animal dissections putting your student at risk. Over the next several days we will take a closer look at the harmful environmental risks related to animal dissection. Check back here tomorrow!

Medical Schools Say No To Dissection

By

All of U.S. medical schools including Yale, Harvard, and Stanford don’t use animal dissection to teach medical students.  The future doctors of America are using simulations, life-like models, and interactive computer programs to learn how to treat human patients. Y3K Tutor In Your Home maintains that there is a better alternative for every animal dissection assignment that any biology teacher might ask of a student.

Dangerous Dissection Chemical #3: Ethylene Glycol

By

Ethylene glycol–preserved specimens have actually been first fixed in formaldehyde or formalin solutions. They are then washed and preserved in ethylene glycol, which is the same chemical in your car’s antifreeze. Ethylene glycol is another toxic chemical that our children are being exposed to during biology animal dissections. It can affect the central nervous system, heart and kidneys. Remember that besides the toxic ethylene glycol, these animals still have formaldehyde inside them as well. When the animals are cut open, our children are exposed to toxic poisonous ethylene glycol and formaldehyde.
