Butyl benzyl phthalate
Conclusions of this criteria document: available data in humans are inadequate to serve as a basis for the assessment of the effects of long-term exposure to butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP). The acute toxicity of BBP is relatively low, with oral LD₅₀ values in rats being greater than 2g/kg body weight. Target organs following acute exposure include the haematological and central nervous systems. Available data are inadequate to assess the irritant and sensitizing effects of BBP. On the basis on animal studies, BBP can be considered possibly carcinogenic to humans. In several studies on rats and mice, BBP has induced reduced sperm counts and shown marked developmental effects, but only at dose levels that induce significant toxicity. A tolerable daily intake of 1300µg/kg body weight has been derived for BBP.

Health impairment upon exposure to products predominantly containing organophosphates and pyrethroids - Comparative evaluation of notifications of poisoning by physicians
Gesundheitliche Beeinträchtigungen bei Expositionen mit überwiegend Organophosphat- und Pyrethroid-haltigen Produkten - Vergleichende Auswertungen der ärztlichen Mitteilungen bei Vergiftungen [in German]
A total of 474 cases of exposure in Germany to insecticides containing organophosphates (OP) and/or pyrethroids (PY) were evaluated. Symptoms were analysed and attributed to acute and chronic exposure. Acute OP exposure produces typical known symptoms: miosis, dyspnoea, arrhythmia, shock and possibly coma. Acute PY exposure produces skin and eye irritation, and respiratory disturbances. It is concluded that acute exposure to OP and PY leads to effects that can be explained as acute poisoning. After chronic exposures, the symptoms developed may be induced by different processes.

Occupational asthma due to dioctyl phthalate in a bottle capsule production worker
Asma occupazionale da dioctil-ftalato in una addetta alla produzione di tappi per bottiglia [in Italian]
A case of occupational asthma caused by dioctyl phthalate, an agent that does not commonly induce asthma, in a worker close to equipment for the preparation and baking of sealant-lined bottle capsule is described. Clinical history, environmental monitoring and pulmonary function tests (bronchodilatation with salbutamol, ventilatory capacity) data, and work interruptions were analysed. A good correlation between work and the worker's asthma was found. Lack of ventilation during conveyor belt and oven malfunction produced excessive exposure.

Evaluation of exposure to ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetates and their possible haematological effects on shipyard painters
The aim of this study was to evaluate exposure to mixed solvents containing ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate (EGEEA) in shipyard painters in order to determine if EGEEA is toxic to the bone marrow. The mean exposure concentration to EGEEA in the high and low exposure groups were 3.03ppm and 1.76ppm, respectively. The concentrations of methyl hippuric acid and ethoxyacetic acid in the high exposure group were significantly higher than those in the control group. The mean white blood cell counts in the high exposure group were significantly lower than in the control group, and a significant proportion, six of the 57 painters, were leucopenic; none of the controls were affected. The high rate of possible haematological effects among shipyard painters and a hygienic evaluation of their working environment in the present study suggests that EGEEA might be toxic to bone marrow.

Farmworker exposure to organophosphorus pesticide residues during apple thinning in central Washington State
The exposure of twenty workers from three work sites to azinphos-methyl over an entire apple-thinning season was studied. Exposure potential was estimated by foliar residue measurements, and individual exposures were estimated by biological monitoring through urinary metabolites. Measurable azinphos-methyl residues were found on apple foliage at all sites throughout the six-week sampling period, indicating continuous exposure potential (median residue level of 0.5µg/cm²). Measurable levels of the urinary dialkylphosphate metabolite, DMTP, were found in virtually all urine samples, with concentrations differing significantly across the three sites (0.53, 0.29 and 0.90µg/ml), and with intraindividual variability much greater than interindividual differences. Group mean DMTP concentrations at each site fluctuated according to foliar residue levels.

CIS 00-47 Joint assessment of commodity chemicals No.38: Monochloroacetic acid (CAS No.79-11-8) and its sodium salt (CAS No.3926-62-3)
Conclusions of this criteria document: monochloroacetic acid is a caustic substance producing irreversible damage to the skin and the eyes, whereas its sodium salt, sodium chloroacetate, is not an irritant to the skin and induces a reversible irritation in contact with the eyes. Monochloroacetic acid has delayed effects on the central nervous system and may also have cardiovascular effects leading to renal failure. Metabolic acidosis is difficult to overcome and death occurs within 4 hours to 7 days.

Oral and dermal absorption of chlorpyrifos: A human volunteer study
An oral dose of chlorpyrifos was readily absorbed and almost all of the dose was recovered as urinary dialkylphosphate metabolites. Chlorpyrifos was also absorbed through the skin. Excretion was delayed compared with the oral dose. Only a small proportion of the applied dose was recovered during the course of the experiment. The best time to collect urine samples for biological monitoring after dermal exposure is before the shift the next day. The amounts of chlorpyrifos used did not depress acetyl cholinesterase activity but could be readily detected as urinary dialkylphosphate metabolites indicating that the urinary assay is a more sensitive indicator of exposure. Topics: acetylcholinesterase; chlorpyrifos; determination in blood; determination in urine; exposure evaluation; ingestion; insecticides; metabolic process; skin absorption; urinary metabolites.

Carbon disulphide absorption during xanthate reagent mixing in a gold mine concentrator
A xanthate reagent mixer at a gold mine concentrator was exposed to carbon disulphide by extensive skin contamination with xanthate powder and solution during the reagent mixing process. Absorption of carbon disulphide was confirmed by the detection of urinary 2-thiothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (TTCA). Drager colorimetric tube testing during subsequent mixing recorded a maximum concentration of at least 60ppm carbon disulphide. An illness consisting of predominantly gastrointestinal symptoms began 20h after the exposure. Although this may have been due to carbon disulphide toxicity this is by no means certain. The need for engineering controls, impervious protective clothing and full-face respirators with particulate and organic vapour cartridges is discussed. Topics: carbon disulfide; case study; determination in air; determination in urine; fatigue; gold mining; migraine; respirators; skin absorption; threshold limit values; toxic effects; urinary metabolites; vomiting; xanthic acids.

Fatty alkyl sulfates
This report is a translation of a report finalized in August 1996. Main conclusions: no epidemiologic data are available on the effects of fatty alkyl sulfates (sulfuric acid esters) in humans; in studies of the skin tolerance of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), skin irritation was observed; irritation of the respiratory tract has been reported in persons in rooms where carpets had been treated with cleaning foam containing SDS; use of alkyl sulfate (triethanolamine lauryl sulfate) in medical treatment has shown no toxic effects. Topics: triethanolamine lauryl sulfate; sodium dodecylsulfate; criteria document; ecotoxicology; Germany; irritants; legislation; literature survey; sulfuric acid esters; toxic effects; toxicology; translation.
