This book chapter discusses the mechanisms and prevention of selenium toxicity in livestock and reports no new experimental results; it emphasizes reducing selenium in the human food chain through animal products.

This study found that sudden hair loss in guinea pigs may serve as a potential biomarker for subacute exposure to mustard gas, and pre-treatment with N-acetylcysteine could prevent this hair loss.

This study found that sodium selenite induced both subacute and chronic selenosis in cow calves, significantly affecting specific haematological parameters, with more pronounced alterations observed in chronic toxicity.

This study describes a case series of nine patients experiencing symptoms of selenium toxicity after consuming a liquid dietary supplement with an excess amount of selenium.

This study identified dose levels of selenium that can produce toxicity, noting that doses as low as 2-3 µg Se/kg bw/day can lead to adverse effects, and a human mortality study linked 300 µg/day consumption to increased death risk.
