Occupational Exposure Limits for 1,2-dibromoethane (ethylene dibromide)

Ethylene Dibromide Mineralization in Soils under Aerobic Conditions.

1,2-Dibromoethane (EDB), which is a groundwater contaminant in areas where it was once used as a soil fumigant, was shown to be degraded aerobically by microorganisms in two types of surface soils from an EDB-contaminated groundwater discharge area. At initial concentrations of 6 to 8 mug/liter, EDB was degraded in a few days to near or below the detection limit of 0.02 mug/liter. At 15 to 18 m...

Semen quality in papaya workers with long term exposure to ethylene dibromide.

To examine whether long term occupational exposure to ethylene dibromide (EDB) affects semen quality a cross sectional study of semen quality was conducted among 46 men employed in the papaya fumigation industry in Hawaii, with an average duration of exposure of five years and a geometric mean breathing zone exposure to airborne EDB of 88 ppb (eight hour time weighted average) and peak exposure...

Outcome of sixty four cases of ethylene dibromide ingestion treated in tertiary care hospital.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS In view of high incidence and mortality due to ethylene dibromide poisoning, a prospective study was planned to assess demographic, toxicological, clinical profile and outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospectively collected data of sixty four patients with ethylene dibromide poisoning were reviewed. All the patients were from Gwalior and neighbouring districts. RESULTS Maj...
