Occupational Exposure Limits of lead, dimethylamine, n-butyl-2,3-epoxypropyl ether, and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol and carcinogenicity and occupational sensitizer classification

Occupational Exposure Rate of Staffs of Bushehr Forensic Medicine Toxicology Lab to Chloroform, Diethyl Ether and Ammonia

Abstract Background and aims: Chloroform, diethyl ether and ammonia are toxic solvents wildly used in forensic labs for preparation and extraction of samples.  The staffs of forensic labs experience high levels of exposure to these solvents. Serious health effects have been reported due to exposure to these solvents including hepatotoxicity, neurotoxicity, carcinogenicity and mutagenicity.   Ma...

Recommendation from Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits for Tert-butyl methyl ether

Dampness and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol in floor construction of rehabilitation center: Health effects in staff.

The authors evaluated changes of symptoms and biomarkers in health care staff (N = 18) for people with different physical dysfunctions and similarly in an external office control group in a nondamp building (N = 15). The first workplace had verified dampness in the floor construction, with formation of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol from water-based glue. Tear film break up time (BUT), nasal patency, biomar...

Exposure assessment of ETBE in gas station workers and gasoline tanker truck drivers.

OBJECTIVES In order to measure occupational exposure concentrations of ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE), we developed a diffusive sampling method for monitoring ETBE and performed an ETBE exposure assessment. METHODS The applicability of diffusive samplers was examined by exposing the samplers to ETBE vapor in test chambers. The personal exposure levels of workers and airborne concentrations...
