It is known that environmental chemical such as heavy metals can be toxic to the body, and thus affect human functions such as reproduction. The article "The Effects of Chronic Lifelong Activation of the AHR Pathway by Industrial Chemical Pollutants on Female Human Reproduction" by Cavallini et al (2016) investigate the biological sensor of toxic chemical compounds, the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), in order to examine the harmful effects of heavy metals on females who were undering in vitro fertilization (IVF) protocol. The toxic and essential heavy metals inspected were chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium and lead in follicular fluids. They hypothesised that the highest metal ion concentration within follicles of women represented a long-term exposure to environmental pollutants and that these metals could affect follicular development in women. Their data suggested that heavy metals, especially chromium and lead, induced a negative effect on follicular maturation in women undergoing IVF. This data was shown specifically through a decreased production of estradiol and a decreased number of retrieved mature oocytes in the women. However, one point to note was that the studies analyzed a single metal but the human exposure effect would be much more complex as an individual is normally simultaneously exposed to several metals and other various compounds. | It is known that environmental chemical such as heavy metals can be toxic to the body, and thus affect human functions such as reproduction.

Belbin Model Team Roles
I have used this model to identify myself in a team scenario in previous courses and found that I view myself as a Shaper. I am very driven for the need to achieve the best results possibly by challenging myself and the team to continually improve. "Task-focused" is a very accurate way of describing me and I try to be as efficient as possible by not losing focus and finding the best and fastest approach in solving problems. In saying that, I do not think Shaper is the only role that describes me as I definitely see myself as also a Complete Finisher. I agree with going the extra mile to make sure everything is "just right", and also can see that sometimes teammates may get a little frustrated if I worry too much about minor details.
