What are Some Examples of Cationic Compounds with Toxic Effects?
Several cationic compounds are known for their toxicological effects. For instance, heavy metals like lead and cadmium are cationic and can cause severe toxicity by binding to proteins and enzymes, disrupting their activities. Another example is cationic surfactants, which are used in industrial and household products. These surfactants can be toxic to aquatic life and may cause skin irritation in humans.
