    Study Notes

    1. Drugs bind to melanin in hair follicles.
    2. The more melanin in hair, the darker it is.
    3. Hair testing is effective for detecting regular drug use over a longer period.
    4. Urine testing is the only approved drug testing method for workplaces covered by federal guidelines.
    5. Saliva testing can detect recent drug use and is efficient for onsite collection.
    6. Cheating on urine tests is possible but difficult.
    7. Hair testing is a strong deterrent for drug-using applicants.
    8. Hair testing is not effective for detecting sporadic drug use.
    9. Disulfide bonds in keratin determine hair texture.
    10. Redox reactions can be used to change hair texture.
    11. Reactions involve breaking and forming bonds.
    12. LEO says GER is a way to remember redox reactions.
    13. The oxidation number tracks electrons gained or lost in redox reactions.
    14. N has 8 oxidation states and O only has one.
    15. Oxidation is the loss of electrons.
    16. Reduction is the gain of electrons.
    17. MnO2 + 4HCl → MnCl2 + Cl2 + 2H2O is an example of a redox reaction.
