Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing material for practitioners and students alike, Chemical Exposure and Toxic Responses is a clear and straightforward presentation of industrial toxicology. Exposure to toxic chemicals is of major concern to health professionals. In recent years, the scope and importance of hazardous materials toxicology has expanded and now impacts financial institutions, government, private corporations, and many other organizations as well. Chemical Exposure and Toxic Responses presents the myriad health implications of hazardous chemicals in a single source. This book is organized so that readers can proceed from a general perspective on the problem of chemical exposure and toxic responses to an understanding of toxicology and a method of inquiry. Written for anyone who needs practical toxicological information, the book compactly and efficiently presents the scientific basis of toxicology as it applies to the workplace. It covers the diverse chemical hazards encountered in the work environment and provides a practical understanding of these hazards for those charged with protecting the health and well being of people at work. Chemical Exposure and Toxic Responses consists of three parts: Part I establishes the general principles of industrial toxicology; Part II addresses specific effects of toxic agents on specific physiological organs and systems; and Part III is devoted to the evaluation of hazards in the workplace.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of the IARC Monographs provides an assessment of the carcinogenicity of 18 chemicals present in industrial and consumer products or food (natural constituents, contaminants, or flavorings) or occurring as water-chlorination by-products. The compounds evaluated include the widely used plasticizer di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and the food contaminant 4-methylimidazole. In view of the limited agent-specific information available from epidemiological studies, the IARC Monographs Working Group relied mainly on carcinogenicity bioassays, and mechanistic and other relevant data to evaluate the carcinogenic hazards to humans exposed to these agents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BIOLOGICAL MONITORING OF EXPOSURE TO INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS MEANS EVALUATION OF THE INTERNAL EXPOSURE OF THE ORGANISM TO A CHEMICAL AGENT (IE, THE INTERNAL DOSE) BY A BIOLOGICAL METHOD. INTERNAL EXPOSURE OR INTERNAL DOSE MAY MEAN THE AMOUNT OF THE CHEMICAL RECENTLY ABSORBED, THEAMOUNT ALREADY STORED IN THE ORGANISM (BODY BURDEN), OR THE AMOUNT OF THE ACTIVE CHEMICAL SPECIES BOUND TO THE SITES OF ACTION. THREE TYPES OF MEASUREMENTS ARE USUALLY SELECTED TO EVALUATE THE INTERNAL DOSE: 1. THE CONCENTRATION OF THE SUBSTANCE ITSELF IN VARIOUS BIOLOGICAL MEDIA (BLOOD, URINE, EXPIRED AIR, HAIR, ADIPOSETISSUE, SALIVA, ETC); 2. THE CONCENTRATION OF ITS BIOTRANSFORMATION PRODUCTS (METABOLITES) IN THE SAME MEDIA; 3. THE DETERMINATION OF NON-ADVERSE BIOLOGICAL CHANGES THAT ARE THE RESULTS OF THE REACTION OF THE ORGANISM TO EXPOSURE. THE MAIN GOAL OF BIOLOGICAL MONITORING OF EXPOSURE IS EITHER TO INSURE THAT THE CURRENT OR PAST EXPOSURE OF THE WORKERS IS SAFE (IE, DOES NOT ENTAIL AN UNACCEPTABLE HEALTH RISK) OR TO DETECT POTENTIAL EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE BEFORE THE OCCURRENCE OF DETECTABLE ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS. IT IS ESSENTIALLY A PREVENTIVE MEDICAL ACTIVITY. AUTHORS ABSTRACT ABRIDGED.

Book excerpt: Traditionally, industrial hygienists have sought to prevent excessive exposure to chemicals in industry by setting standards for concentrations of chemicals in ambient air. Standards for chemicals in air applied by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists include: the maximum allowable concentration (MAC), the threshold limit value (TLV), and the emergency exposure limit (EEL) However, the monitoring of air concentrations only considers exposure by inhalation and is not indicative of the actual uptake or total body burden of chemicals by exposed workers. During the past 20 years numerous procedures have been developed for the analysis of industrial chemicals in biological specimens collected from workers. Such biological monitoring takes into consideration absorption of chemicals by all routes of absorption and differences in individual exposures. The goal of biological monitoring is to detect excessive exposure in workers before the occurrence of detectable adverse health effects.

This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In keeping with a congressional mandate (Public Law 104-484) and the Chemical Weapons Convention, the United States is currently destroying its chemical weapons stockpile. The Army must ensure that the chemical demilitarization workforce is protected from the risks of exposure to hazardous chemicals during disposal operations and during and after facility closure. Good industrial practices developed in the chemical and nuclear energy industries and other operations that involve the processing of hazardous materials include workplace monitoring of hazardous species and a systematic occupational health program for monitoring workers' activities and health. In this report, the National Research Council Committee on Review and Evaluation of the Army Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program examines the methods and systems used at JACADS and TOCDF, the two operational facilities, to monitor the concentrations of airborne and condensed-phase chemical agents, agent breakdown products, and other substances of concern. The committee also reviews the occupational health programs at these sites, including their industrial hygiene and occupational medicine components. Finally, it evaluates the nature, quality, and utility of records of workplace chemical monitoring and occupational health programs.
