Vainio H, Rosenberg C, Hirvonen A, Norppa H, Scand J Work Environ Health 1999;25(2):157-159. ... These preliminary results suggest that impaired metabolic capacity may indeed increase the individual risk of isocyanate-induced asthma due to a decreased elimination of isocyanates from the body. Dr Jürgen Pauluhn (Wuppertal, Germany) presented results on the acute inhalation toxicity of isocyanates in rats. His data indicated that different isocyanates show a wide range of acute toxicity and that the acute pathomechanisms appear to depend upon both specific chemical reactivity and physicochemical properties. According to Dr Pauluhn, the use of acute inhalation toxicity data on rats for regulatory classification purposes is not a simple process but requires judicious expert judgment. In summary our main observations of the meeting are as follows: ... http://www.occuphealth.fi/cgi-bin/sjweh/abst_testi.pl?key=1999|2|157 |
