Health effects of exposure to ethylene glycol monoethyl ether in female workers.
Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGEE) is a solvent commonly used in industry. To find the health effect of the solvent exposure in women, we did an investigation on 32 female workers exposed to EGEE in factories manufacturing photopolymer sensitization plate, and 20 subjects working in the same companies without potential exposure to the solvent. The mean age was 35.0 and 33.9 yr in the two gr...
متن کاملEthylene glycol monoethyl ether and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate teratology studies.
An inhalation teratology study was conducted in rats at 10, 50 and 250 ppm ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGEE) and in rabbits at 10, 50 and 175 ppm EGEE. This study was designed to supplement a study conducted for NIOSH which showed teratogenic effects in rats at 200 ppm EGEE and in rabbits at about 160 ppm EE. In this study, EGEE was found not to cause teratogenic effects at concentrations ...
متن کاملReproductive toxicology. Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate.
Background: Mc Indoe vaginoplasty is one of the mostly performed surgical interventions in Mullerian agenesis. Case presentations: We present our experience on the use of a new designed vaginal stent that was coated with silicone in two mullerian agenesis cases who had Mc Indoe vaginoplasty. Both full thickness and splitt thickness skin graft were used with the stent. No graft loss or hyperthro...
متن کاملDevelopmental effects after inhalation exposure of gravid rabbits and rats to ethylene glycol monoethyl ether.
The effects of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGEE) were determined on development in utero. Pregnant New Zealand White rabbits were exposed to air or 160 or 617 ppm EGEE for 7 hr/day from 1 to 18 days of gestation (dg). Virgin Wistar rats were exposed to 150 or 649 ppm EGEE or air 5 days/week for the 3 weeks immediately preceding their breeding. Sperm-positive rats were subsequently exposed ...
متن کاملHepatic effects among workers exposed to ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate.
Data about hepatic effects of ethylene glycol ethers had been limited and inconsistent. In this study, we determined whether ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate (EGEEA) was a hepatotoxin in exposed workers. Workers from one silk-screening shop (n=29), using EGEEA as the major cleaning solvent, were recruited as high exposure group. Another group of workers with indirect and low exposure to ...
