 INTRODUCTION

Toxicity is one of the world’s biggest problems. They are a lot of products that
are toxic and non-toxic. Examples of toxic products are coloring materials like
crayons, water color, oil pastel, paint and etc... So, we came up with an Idea to
lessen toxicity on water color by using a different and accurate wax. Beeswax is
very low in toxicity, it is used in makeup, like lipstick’s, lip balm and etc.
The Toxic in a regular coloring material may cause cancer, and it is poisonous.
Beeswax is a natural wax produced by honeybees of the Genus Apis, It is formed
into scales by eight wax producing glands in the abdominal segments of worker
bees, which discard it in or at the hive. permanently removed toxicity. Toxicity is a
reversible damage to all but it can hardly affect the human body.
Toxicity is a general term used to indicate adverse effects produced by
poisons. These adverbs effects can range from slight symptoms like headaches or
nausea, to severe symptoms like coma and convulsions and death… However,
some poisons cause irreversible (permanent) damage.

oranges. While the pulp and juice are used the most, the peel tends to be
discarded. That causes many garbage’s was not properly thrown in the

level of toxicity, and decreases the bad odors.
