Kaiju liberou toxinas?

4

In accordance to their increasing size and strength, the Defense Corps created a "Category" scale, classifying Kaiju on the basis of toxicity and water displacement.

Referred from http://pacificrim.wikia.com/wiki/Kaiju

Definição de toxicidade é "O grau em que uma substância (uma toxina ou veneno) pode prejudicar seres humanos ou animais".

Então minha pergunta é que Kaiju libera toxinas? Em caso afirmativo, qual impacto eles tiveram sobre os organismos ao redor?

De acordo com o Wiki da Orla do Pacífico :

Upon decomposing, their bodies release a noxious agent into the air known as "Kaiju Blue", their blood. Kaiju Blue has the ability to contaminate the air and its immediate environment, making it uninhabitable. The blood of a Kaiju is highly acidic, corroding anything in its path. This makes it especially hard to gather samples safely for examination and experimentation. As a result, Jaegers have been equipped with weapons that cauterize wounds they inflict on Kaiju to prevent the spread of their highly acidic internal fluids[11]. As silicon-based organisms, the design of their bodies makes it difficult to determine and study particular parts of their internal systems

Assim, os próprios Kaiju não são tóxicos, mas seu sangue é muito mais, pois contamina a área imediatamente ao redor deles quando eles morrem.

O sangue do Kaiju é baseado em amônia. Per Guillermo Del Toro:

"The second thing that the Kaiju do which is, they decompose and they release an agent called Kaiju-[blue] that completely destroys the cities, makes the air impossible to breathe. The blood is completely acidic. So they figure out that the base of fluid of the Kaiju is ammonia-based. So how do they neutralize it? But it takes a while because, first of all, it melts the pavement, melts the structures around it, makes a noxious gas. By the time they get to a Kaiju, the first few attacks, they can't even get samples or corpses or pieces to analyze it. The Kaijus are essentially triggered to self destroy if they fall. So it's a very smart weapon."

Como visto neste vídeo da Comicon antes do lançamento do filme em 2013 -

                             

A amônia é bastante tóxica para a vida marinha, por da Wikipedia :

The toxicity of ammonia solutions does not usually cause problems for humans and other mammals, as a specific mechanism exists to prevent its build-up in the bloodstream. Ammonia is converted to carbamoyl phosphate by the enzyme carbamoyl phosphate synthetase, and then enters the urea cycle to be either incorporated into amino acids or excreted in the urine. Fish and amphibians lack this mechanism, as they can usually eliminate ammonia from their bodies by direct excretion. Ammonia even at dilute concentrations is highly toxic to aquatic animals, and for this reason it is classified as dangerous for the environment.

Mesmo que não seja normalmente tóxico para humanos e mamíferos, podemos obter o que é chamado > Hiperamonemia , que é um excesso de amônia no sistema sanguíneo. É uma condição perigosa que pode levar à encefalopatia e à morte.

Parece que alguém envolvido no resultado de Kaiju-Blue teria efeitos colaterais adversos. Como Guillermo Del Toro declarou, eles são uma arma muito inteligente .

Diretamente da introdução do filme:

(newscaster on tv): The acid factor of the Kaiju blood creates a toxic phenomenon named Kaiju Blue.

A partir da novelização oficial:

“Plus nobody can get Kaiju Blue if it’s at the bottom of the ocean, right?” Raleigh added. Kaiju Blue was bad news, a kind of shock reaction the human body suffered when recently dead kaiju started to off-gas toxins in the hours after they died. It killed a lot of people when kaiju went down in populated areas . Today it would only kill fish, and who knew if they got Kaiju Blue, anyway?

O sangue também é corrosivo:

The dying kaiju’s blood , bright blue and as corrosive as any substance found in nature, smoked and sizzled its way across the asphalt and concrete.
