Abstract |
This booklet is essentially a series of lists with data: officially recognised carcinogens (as categorised in USA, Germany (Fed.Rep.) and Sweden); important irritating industrial chemicals; toxic properties of amines; 10 common groups of dermatitis agents; heavy metals by industry using them; health effects of epoxy compounds, acetates, pesticides, nitro and amino aromatics, ketones, diphenyls, organic acids, diethylene glycol ethers; labelling colours assigned to canisters or cartridges in USA. The TLV list proper contains 549 substances with formula, TLV in the 3 countries (in ppm and mg/m3), indication of whether carcinogenic, whether skin contact increases the exposure, and whether the TLV is a ceiling or a time-weighted average. Appendices: report on the ICF/URW International Conference on Occupational Health Hazards in the Chemical, Rubber and Allied Industries (Geneva, 28-30 Oct. 1974); U.S. Environmental Protection Agency principles of carcinogenicity in chemicals. |
