The researchers then turned to the body's defense against oxidants.

He was convinced that the results could be explained by the presence of oxidants in the soil.

Some related compounds find use as oxidants in organic synthesis.

While other oxidants subsequently have been used, bleach continues to be the most common.

Like all organic compounds, it is incompatible with strong oxidants.

Other oxidants can be used, but these four are the most commonly used.

Do not take more than the recommended allowance of copper, because it is an oxidant.

Oxygen itself is not the fuel, but the oxidant.

It is also resistant to gentle oxidants and reducing agents.

The preferred oxidant in industry is oxygen or air.

Though of course much of the oxidant was drawn from the air."

It is used as an oxidant in organic chemistry.

In the laboratory, chromic acid can be used as the oxidant.

Oxidants interfere with the normal brain chemistry and cause further damage.

The reaction can occur using a variety of oxidants.

An important event in this process is the over-production of oxidants, also called free radicals.

Being a strong oxidant, lead dioxide is a poison when ingested.

The much-reviled oxidant, also known as the free radical, has a new defender.

A goal, researchers said, should be to develop drugs that stop the damage the oxidants cause, but let them do their repairs.

Nothing could live on the surface, of course, in the stinging oxidants and lethal ultraviolet.

Perchlorate is a strong oxidant so it may have destroyed any organic matter on the surface.

In these reactions, air serves as the terminal oxidant.

Because it is such an aggressive oxidant, reaction conditions are mild, generally room temperature.

Instead of using chemical oxidants, electrochemical oxidation is often possible.

"But it doesn't have the oxidant," he said, and thus cannot burn readily.
