1-Propanol
Apart from one case of fatal poisoning following ingestion of half a litre of 1-propanol, there are practically no reports on the adverse health effects from exposure to 1-propanol, either in the general population or in occupational groups. In a study on skin irritation and sensitisation, allergic reactions were reported in a laboratory worker, and skin tests on volunteers resulted in erythema lasting for at least 60 minutes. No epidemiological studies are available to assess the long-term effects, including carcinogenicity. The report concludes that 1-propanol is unlikely to pose a serious health risk for the general population under normal exposure conditions. Detailed summaries in French and Spanish.

2-Propanol
Major effects following acute over-exposure are gastritis, depression of the central nervous system with hypothermia and respiratory depression, and hypotension. Acute mortality data on experimental animals indicate that the toxicity of 2-propanol is low. There are no data to assess carcinogenicity in human beings. It is considered unlikely that 2-propanol will pose a serious health-risk for the general population under normal exposure conditions. Detailed summaries in French and Spanish.

Increase in antipyrine clearance in workers exposed to phenol and toluene in the petrochemical industry
In 90 workers of the petrochemical industry occupationally exposed to a mixture of petroleum derivatives, including 60 persons exposed mainly to phenol and 30 to toluene, the metabolic activity of the liver was examined using the antipyrine test. In both groups of subjects, an increase of antipyrine clearance in saliva was observed. Occupational exposure to lipophylic derivatives of petroleum seems to induce the function of liver microsomal enzymes.

Chlorophenols other than pentachlorophenol
In the manufacture of chlorophenols, clinical symptoms associated with exposure include eye, nose and airway irritation, dermatitis, chloracne and porphyria. Abnormal liver function tests, changes in brain wave activity, and slowed visual reaction time have been reported in association with high-level exposure. In sawmill workers, sodium tetrachlorophenolate exposures have caused numerous cases of dermatitis and respiratory irritation. Epidemiological studies show conflicting results relating cancer incidence and mortality to occupational exposure.

Nordic Expert Group for Documentation of Occupational Exposure Limits. 84. Hydroquinone
Nordiska expertgruppen för gränsvärdesdokumentation. 84. Hydrokinon [en sueco]
Literature survey on hydroquinone, to be used as background information for discussions of occupational exposure limits. Hydroquinone is used industrially as a reducing agent, an antioxidant and a stabiliser, and also as a component in film developing fluids. Exposure can occur via skin and respiratory organs. In discussing an occupational exposure limit for hydroquinone, its genotoxic effects should be given attention. Its possible effects on the immune system, bone marrow, skin and mucous membranes should also be borne in mind. A list of permitted or recommended exposure levels for hydroquinone in different countries is appended. An English version of this document is available under Arbete och hälsa 1989:37.

Occupational dermatoses at a film laboratory - Follow-up after modernization
The occurrence and causes of occupational dermatoses at a film laboratory following modernisation was studied. In 1983 the film laboratory moved to new premises built to reduce exposure to hazardous chemicals. The study was carried out during 1983-1986 with repeated interviews and dermatological examinations of all employees (78 subjects) and patch testing those with a history of or with current chemical exposure or dermatitis (65 subjects). Of 54 chemically exposed subjects, 34 (63%) had a history of occupational dermatoses, and 12 (22%) suffered from contact allergy to film chemicals. Current probable occupational dermatoses were observed in 13 subjects - of whom 8 had hand eczema. No new case of occupational skin disease occurred during the investigation period except for 1 case of ulceration from an acid splash. Petrolatum mixtures of colour developing agents, metol and hydroquinone were found most suitable for patch testing since these chemicals are unstable and/or cause irritation in aqueous solutions. It is concluded that occurrence and severity of occupational dermatoses had been reduced by the technical measures taken to reduce chemical exposure.

Hygienic significance of air pollution with tobacco dust
Gigieničeskoe značenie zagrjaznenija vozdušnoj sredy tabačnoj pyl'ju [en ruso]
This literature survey presents in concise form data on tobacco production at home and abroad, chemical composition of tobacco and health effects of tobacco dust on experimental animals and tobacco industry workers. Nicotine, pesticide residues and flavourants seem to be the main health hazards in the industry. Experimental data on animals are consistent with field observations on humans. Female tobacco workers often suffer late toxaemia of pregnancy, abnormal pregnancy interruptions and weakness in labour. Infants born to exposed mothers more frequently show signs of asphyxia and congenital anomalies at birth than those of control women. Tobacco workers suffer allergic disorders in the form of allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, bronchitis, hepatitis and asthma. Occupational exposure to tobacco dust also affects the cardiovascular system (strong palpitation, heartache, dyspnoea). Arterial hypertension, hypotension, S-A bradycardia, tachycardia and arrhythmia have also been observed. The data call for further probing of the biological effects of tobacco dust, hygienic evaluations of tobacco manufacturing undertakings' environmental conditions and working out of measures for controlling atmospheric pollution by these undertakings.

Occupational sensitisation to epichlorohydrin and epoxy resin
Sensitisation to epichlorohydrin (ECH) is reported in 6 patients with occupational contact allergy. In 2 cases, an isolated positive test to ECH was found. In the remaining 4 cases, concomitant positive reactions were seen to "EDCRG epoxy resin" (MW 385) and to liquid epoxy resin (MW 370). Allergy to bisphenol A was not seen in the patients. Five patients worked in an epoxy resin plant. Adequate preventive measures to avoid skin contact with ECH are required to prevent ECH sensitisation becoming a more serious industrial hazard.

Occupational dermatoses in workers exposed to resins based on phenol and formaldehyde
During December 1985 and February 1986, an investigation was carried out on skin diseases among workers in a plant producing decorative equipment built of paper sheets impregnated with resol resins based on phenol and formaldehyde (P-F-R) . A questionnaire was sent to all 238 employees and its was completed by 218 (91.6%). Previous and current dermatoses were reported by 98 workers and 89 of these were examined and patch tested. The patch testing was conducted with a standard test series and products from the working environment and revealed contact alllergy to P-F-R in 9 persons and to formaldehyde in 1. Besides these 10 individuals with occupational allergic contact dermatitis, occupational dermatoses were diagnosed in an additional 20 workers; irritant contact dermatitis in 19 and chemical burn in 1. In total, the figure for occupational dermatoses was 30 (12.6%).

Generalized eruption with severe liver dysfunction associated with occupational exposure to trichloroethylene
Generalised dermatitis due to trichloroethylene is rare. A 21-year old printer developed exfoliative dermatitis with mucous membrane involvement, fever and liver dysfunction after a 2-week occupational exposure to trichloroethylene. Positive patch-test reactions to trichloroethylene and to one of its metabolites, trichloroethanol, were observed. This dermatitis is considered to be mediated by a delayed-type hypersensitivity mechanism.

Comprehensive study of the composition of the volatile products of epoxy resins by proton magnetic resonance and gas-liquid chromatography
Kompleksnoe izučenie sostava letučih produktov ėpoksidnyh smol s primeneniem metoda protonno-magnitnogo rezonansa i gazožidkostnoj hromatografii [en ruso]
The composition of volatile products of cycloaliphatic epoxy resins UP-640 and UP-650 T, polyoxypropylene epoxides DE-1000, DE-2000, TE-750, TE-1500 and epoxy-diane ED-6 was determined. The cycloaliphatic epoxy resins and polyoxypropylene epoxides (POPE) differ from earlier epoxy resins in both component composition and content. Such highly toxic components as allyl chloride and styrene can volatilise along with epichlorohydrin and toluene from UP-640 and UP-650 T, in contrast to epoxy resins. Volatile products of POPE include acetone, allyl chloride, ethanol and dioxane equally with the usual components of diane resins. The main component taken into account for standardisation cannot be only epichlorohydrin. In the case of hygienic standardisation of POPE, in particular, acetone is chosen as the volatile component because of its proportion, boiling point and volatilising proportion in comparison with other volatile products.

Modified method for determining methanol in workplace air
Modifikacija metoda opredelenija metanola v vozduhe [en ruso]
Sampled air is absorbed in a 0.01N H₂SO₄ solution, thus providing good analyte stability on prolonged storage (which is not the case with the distilled water traditionally used for these purposes). The method is based upon permanganate oxidation of methanol in sulfate medium to formaldehyde and determination of the latter by reaction with chromotropic acid. In addition to methanol, the method is capable of simultaneously determining formaldehyde and ammonia, which is particularly practical for saving time and effort when having to assess workplace air quality in carbamide resin and carbamide resin-based chipboard plants, where all 3 substances are present in the environment.

Formaldehyde and phenol risk conditions in a laminated wood factory
Condizioni di rischio da formaldeide e fenoli in una fabbrica di compensati [en italiano]
Environmental exposure to formaldehyde and phenols was measured in a laminated wood factory using urea-formaldehyde and urea-formaldehyde-melamine-phenol glues. Two groups of workers identified having different levels of risk: Group A exposed to a low level of environmental pollution employed on bark removal and sheeting of trunks, sorting, cutting and drying of wood sheets; Group B exposed to higher pollution levels, employed on gluing, pressing, filling, squaring, storage and transport of laminates. The results showed that the workers in Group A were exposed to a mean formaldehyde concentration of 0.027mg/m³ and a mean phenol concentration of 0.042mg/m³. The workers in Group B were exposed to mean concentrations of 0.189mg/m³ of formaldehyde and 0.081mg/m³ of phenol. In the Group B workers there was a significantly higher prevalence of irritative disorders of the conjunctiva, throat and skin. The greater prevalence of objective findings concerning chronic conjunctivitis and alterations in vocal chord motility are consistent with this result. A synergic mechanism of formaldehyde and phenol in producing the irritative effect cannot be excluded.

Allergy and occupational exposure to hydroquinone and to methionine
Respiratory manifestations have been reported after exposure to hydroquinone and to methionine. 103 men in the same chemical plant were divided into 3 groups according to their exposure and compared by questionnaire, respiratory functional tests with methacholine then salbutamol challenges, and measurements of serum immunoglobulins G and E. Group H included 33 workers exposed to hydroquinone, trimethyl-hydroquinone, and retinenehydroquinone. Group M included 15 workers exposed to methionine. Group C was a control group of 55 workers. The prevalance of respiratory symptoms was higher in the 2 exposed groups. Before challenges, pulmonary function values were significantly lower in groups H and M than those in group C. The challenges induced significant variations in the 3 groups but these variations were less pronounced in group M than in the other groups. The level of immunoglobulin G in group H was significantly higher than in group C. The exposure to methionine and to hydroquinone and its derivates may induce ventilatory impairment, perhaps by an immunological mechanism.

CIS 89-1050 IARC monographs on the evaluation of carcinogenic risks to humans - Alcohol drinking
On the basis of its evaluation of the related available toxicological data, IARC states that: (1) there is sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of acetaldehyde (the major metabolite of ethanol) in experimental animals; (2) there is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of ethanol and of alcoholic beverages in animals; (3) there is sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of alcoholic beverages in humans: the occurrence of malignant tumours of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, ¿sophagus and liver is causally related to the consumption of alcoholic beverages; (4) alcoholic beverages are carcinogenic in humans (Group 1).
