    Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of organic compounds composed of multiple aromatic rings fused together. They are primarily formed during the incomplete combustion of organic materials like coal, oil, gas, wood, and tobacco. PAHs are known for their potential carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic properties, making them significant environmental pollutants and health hazards.

      community PP405 2a study was a safety study. Some rational explaining.

      in Research/Science  22 upvotes 1 month ago
      The conversation discusses the safety study of PP405, emphasizing that early trials focus on safety rather than efficacy, and that any efficacy data from such a short study should be viewed skeptically. It also highlights that the information released is primarily for securing funding, and that meaningful efficacy results are expected in later phases.
