Download or read book Nasal Toxicity And Dosimetry Of Inhaled Xenobiotics written by Fred J. Miller and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1995-02-14 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The location and severity of toxic responses in the noses of laboratory animals following inhalation of various compounds is attracting a growing number of researchers. This interest has arisen not only due to types of responses observed, but also because of the increased use of animal toxicological data for assessing human health risks from exposure to these compounds. This work addresses nasal dosimetry and toxicity of Inhaled Xenobiotics.; Originally Published As A Special Issue Of The journal "Inhalation Toxicology", the contributions are derived from a Chemical Industry Institute of Toxicology CIIT symposium held in September 1993 in Durham, North Carolina. The overview articles, covering topics like end points and responses of concern in humans, enable the reader to integrate information contained in later articles which treat the overview subjects in greater depth.; Next, mathematical and physical models that can be used to study the deposition of inhaled compounds in the upper respiratory tracts of humans and animals are considered. Approaches for experimental dosimetry studies and a number of dosimetry case studies are presented. The third series of articles examine chemically induced nasal responses in animals and humans. Integrating all the previous information, the final section discusses the use of nasal dosimetry and toxicity data for assessing human health implications and establishing appropriate exposure limits.

Download or read book Comprehensive Toxicology Volume 8 written by R.A. Roth and published by Pergamon. This book was released on 1999-08-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 8 begins with a detailed description of the functional anatomy of the various regions and critical cells of the respiratory tract, from the nasal cavity to the gas exchange region. This section conveys the structural heterogeneity of the respiratory system and how it determines tissue and cellular targets for toxic agents. The next section describes functional and biochemical responses of the lungs to toxic insult and includes chapters on carcinogenic and developmental responses to chemical exposure. The final section comprises over 20 chapters describing injurious effects of selected chemicals of toxicologic interest. Human health concerns as well as mechanisms of toxicity are emphasized. Unlike other volumes that have treated this subject, attention is devoted to effects of toxic agents on both the airways and the pulmonary vasculature.

Download or read book Human Toxicology written by J. Descotes and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1996-09-02 with total page 859 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This excellent volume was designed and edited with two major ideas in mind: firstly, the field of clinical toxicology is changing and an acknowledgement of these changes is warranted; secondly, no comprehensive compilation of recently published case reports of, and clinical studies on, human poisonings is available, which is in sharp contrast to the closely related field of drug-induced side-effects. The book focusses on issues of recent concern, or issues poorly documented in the past. It is important that clinical toxicologists gain a better knowledge of all the available techniques of toxicological analysis. A better understanding of the way a sound interpretation of results should be conducted for the benefit of the patient's management, and a comprehensive set of data on the kinetics of the most common pharmaceutical drugs and many chemicals is required. Human Toxicology is a timely reference work which will be welcomed by a broad audience of toxicology professionals.

Download or read book Biologic Markers in Pulmonary Toxicology written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1989-02-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biologic markersâ€"indicators of biological exposure or changeâ€"offer the promise of early detection of disease caused by environmental exposure. Researchers have used these markers to discover indications of pulmonary damage from low-level ozone, a finding with serious implications for health professionals and environmental regulators. Biologic Markers in Pulmonary Toxicology is a comprehensive study of this use of biologic markers. Focusing on the respiratory tract as an entryway for airborne pollutants, this volume reviews new ways of measuring markers, the need for markers to indicate dose or exposure levels, noninvasive respiratory function tests for use with healthy humans to detect sensitivity to inhaled pollutants, approaches to evaluating markers down to the cellular and biochemical levels, and more.

Download or read book Review of the Environmental Protection Agency s Draft IRIS Assessment of Formaldehyde written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-05-31 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formaldehyde is ubiquitous in indoor and outdoor air, and everyone is exposed to formaldehyde at some concentration daily. Formaldehyde is used to produce a wide array of products, particularly building materials; it is emitted from many sources, including power plants, cars, gas and wood stoves, and cigarettes; it is a natural product in come foods; and it is naturally present in the human body as a metabolic intermediate. Much research has been conducted on the health effects of exposure to formaldehyde, including effects on the upper airway, where formaldehyde is deposited when inhaled, and effects on tissues distant from the site of initial contact. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released noncancer and cancer assessments of formaldehyde for its Intergated Risk Information System (IRIS) in 1990 and 1991, respectively. The agency began reassessing formaldehyde in 1998 and released a draft IRIS assessment in June 2010. Given the complexity of the issues and the knowledge that the assessment will be used as the basis of regulatory decisions, EPA asked the National Research Council (NRC) to conduct an independent scientific review of the draft IRIS assessment. In this report, the Committee to Review EPA's Draft IRIS Assessment of Formaldehyde first addresses some general issues associated with the draft IRIS assessment. The committee next focuses on questions concerning specific aspects of the draft assessment, including derivation of the reference concentrations and the cancer unit risk estimates for formaldehyde. The committee closes with recommendations for improving the IRIS assessment of formaldehyde and provides some general comments on the IRIS development process.
Download or read book Assessment of Exposure Response Functions for Rocket Emission Toxicants written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-07-24 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Air Force is developing a model to assist commanders in determining when it is safe to launch rocket vehicles. The model estimates the possible number and types of adverse health effects for people who might be exposed to the ground cloud created by rocket exhaust during a normal launch or during an aborted launch that results in a rocket being destroyed near the ground. Assessment of Exposure-Response Functions for Rocket-Emmission Toxicants evaluates the model and the data used for three rocket emission toxicants: hydrogen chloride, nitrogen dioxide, and nitric acid.
