Nicotine
Formaldehyde
Lead
Arsenic
Ammonia
Radioactive elements such as Polonium-210
Benzene

How some of those chemicals affect the body:

Nicotine is highly addictive and can cause an increase in blood pressure, heart rate, flow of blood to the heart and a narrowing of the arteries (vessels that carry blood).

Symptoms for formaldehyde are watery eyes; burning sensations in the eyes, nose, and throat; coughing; wheezing; nausea; and skin irritation

High levels of lead may cause anemia, weakness, and kidney and brain damage. Very high lead exposure can cause death.

Arsenic poisoning occurs over a brief period of time, symptoms may include vomiting, abdominal pain, encephalopathy, and watery diarrhea that contains blood. Long-term exposure can result in thickening of the skin, darker skin, abdominal pain, diarrhea, heart disease, numbness, and cancer.

High concentrations of ammonia in air causes immediate burning of the eyes, nose, throat and respiratory tract and can result in blindness, lung damage or death.

The situation in which some individuals have greater reproductive success than other individuals in a population. Along with variation and heritability, it is one of the three conditions necessary for evolution by natural selection.

There are so many factors that contributed to this over time, reproductive success differs and it could be attributed to hereditary and variation as well. Most often, the hereditary plays the most role out of all as the viability of both eggs and sperms could have been inherited from parents or being affected as a result of environmental factor or nutrition or other factors.

For instance, if one has a rhesus factor of negative and went ahead to marry another male counterpart with negative rhesus factor, this sedomly leads to miscarriage which could have been controlled had it been they were thoroughly counseled. Furthermore, physical factor such as accident could damage one spermatical vessicles that houses the sperm cells which render such an individual to be unable to donate a viable sperm cell for reproduction.

Those with high rate of reproductive success thrives as result of having many offspring which increases their chances of having more offspring than those with little success rate.
