A rapid, low-cost, and selective method for simultaneous direct determination of maneb group residues (containing ethylenebis propylenebis dithiocarbamates) in fruit by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry was developed validated the current study. The results showed could be melt stabilized 5 v% ethylenediamine 60 days keeping conventional refrigerators, which a stable ion...

A stepped approach was used to assess the exposures of 1 1/2-4 1/2-year-old children in the United Kingdom to residues of pesticides (dithiocarbamates; phosmet; carbendazim) found in apples and pears. The theoretical possibility that the acute reference dose (ARD) was being exceeded for a particular pesticide/fruit was tested by applying a combination of maximal variability and maximum measured...

1. Problem Various starting substances and additives are needed to produce consumer products based on natural and synthetic rubber. They include vulcanisation accelerators from the group of dithiocarbamates and thiurames which are converted during the vulcanisation process into N-nitrosamines and nitrosatable amines. Migratable levels of N-nitrosamines and nitrosatable amines have been repeated...

Ethylenebisdithiocarbamates (EBDCs) are metabolized into ethylenethiourea (ETU), a possible human carcinogen and an antithyroid compound. In this study our goal was to correlate ETU levels with the incidence of thyroid gland disorders among banana plantation workers exposed to EBDC. We randomly selected 57 directly exposed workers and 31 indirectly exposed workers from four banana plantations a...
