Review of epidemiologic study results of vinyl chloride-related compounds.
Epidemiologic study results addressing the carcinogenicity of six compounds related to vinyl chloride (vinylidene chloride, trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, ethylene dibromide and epichlorohydrin) are reviewed. The study results suggest an increased carcinogenic risk among workers exposed to epichlorohydrin and to dry cleaning and degreasing solvents. Although several...
متن کاملReview of experimental carcinogenesis by compounds related to vinyl chloride.
The experimental carcinogenesis results in six compounds related to vinyl chloride are reported. Vinylidene chloride, given by inhalation, was carcinogenic in male CD-1 mice, male CD rats, Sprague-Dawley rats and male Swiss mice. Trichloroethylene, given by gavage and inhalation, was carcinogenic in the B6C3F1 mice. When given by gavage, perchloroethylene was carcinogenic in the B6C3F1 mice, an...
متن کاملMutagenicity and metabolism of vinyl chloride and related compounds.
The various adverse biological effects of vinyl chloride appear to be dependent upon the metabolic conversion of this compound into chemically reactive metabolites. The metabolism of vinyl chloride in mammals and in man, including the formation of monochloroacetic acid and some identified sulfur conjugates is reviewed. Hepatic microsomal mixed function oxidases from rats, mice, and humans were ...
متن کاملCopolymerization of Vinyl Chloride by Organometallic Compounds
ABSTRACT The copolymerizations of vinyl chloride with o-olefin or acrylic compounds were investigated with organometallic compounds as catalysts. In general, organoaluminium compounds need to be treated with a complexing agent such as tetrahydrofuran prior to use. Otherwise the former reacts with polyvinyl chloride and loses its activity. The copolymer of vinyl chloride and propylene was thus o...
متن کاملResults of sputum, cytology among workers exposed to vinyl chloride monomer and to poly(vinyl chloride).
The results of systematic cytological sputum examinations of 3,380 Italian VC-PVC industry workers and of 2,287 workers in other industries at different potential risk and chosen as control groups are reported. The results indicate an increase in cellular abnormalities and dysplasias in the epithelium of the respiratory tract among VC-PVC workers. These data are in line with experimental result...
