Unusual occupational toxins
Twelve of the most unusual industrial toxins are reviewed and their clinical manifestations and treatments explored: acetonitrile (laboratory reagent, solvent; primary toxicity due to its delayed metabolism to cyanide); acrylonitrile (commonly used; interesting toxicology); boron hydrides (rocket fuels; toxic); dimethylaminopropionitrile (DMAPN, used as a catalyst in the chemical industry); dimethylformamide (widely used solvent; hepatotoxic); hydrazines (rocket and jet fuels, corrosion inhibitors etc; serious toxic effects); methyl isocyanate (intermediate in insecticide manufacturing; extremely toxic); 2-nitropropane (solvent, many other uses; hepatotoxic); phosphine (pesticide; toxic); stalinon and other organotin compounds (mostly of historical interest); tellurium (metal used as an alloy component, other uses; toxic); vanadium (trace metal used in alloys, other uses; toxic).

Borane-tetrahydrofuran.
The author of this letter to the editor reports the spontaneous explosion of a glass bottle containing 900g of a 1M solution of the borane-tetrahydrofuran complex in tetrahydrofuran. The bottle was shattered into small fragments. The sample had been shipped to Australia from England at temperatures below 15°C, and the bottle was unopened and had stood undisturbed for 2 weeks. A reply follows by a manufacturer of the reagent, Aldrich-Boranes, Inc., who were aware of the problem (1 reference is quoted). The firm urges that the reagent be stored at 0°C and the bottle first opened behind a safety shield.

Studies on the interaction of several boron hydrides with liver microsomal enzymes.
The effects of several boron hydrides on hepatic microsomal enzymes isolated from male rats are described. Decaborane and the carboranes inhibited ethylmorphine N-demethylase and aniline hydroxylase activities in vitro. A decomposition product of decaborane also inhibited these microsomal enzyme systems. The potential utility of decaborane and other boron hydrides as pharmacological tools in investigating hepatic microsomal drug metabolism is discussed.
