Estimation of dermal absorption parameters of cleaning chemical ingredients
Publication date: Available online 7 September 2018Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Nishith Ghosh, Pallavee V.K., J.D. Sharma, A.S. VajarekarCleaning workers experience occupational hazards, such as skin diseases and respiratory illness, due to their exposure to the ingredients of cleaning chemicals. To control chemical exposure through inhalation route, airborne concentration of the chemicals is maintained within its occupational exposure limits (OELs). However, universally accepted OELs for dermal exposure are lacking. Unavailability of experimentally determined values of dermal absorption paramete...

Exposure assessment of laboratory workers to hazardous waste from mice treated with tamoxifen and bromodeoxyuridine
In this study, excretion rates of tamoxifen and its two bioactive metabolites (hydroxytamoxifen and endoxifen) showed a dose-sex interaction; but, excreted concentrations reached very low to undetectable levels by 72 hour post treatment no matter the dose or sex of the animal. BrdU excretion rates showed little to no sex difference, and excreted concentrations reached low levels by 48 hour post treatment in both males and females. The outcomes of this study can be used by health & safety experts to develop evidence-based policies for risk management of handling cages and bedding of animals treated with tamoxifen ...

Assessing flammable storage cabinets as sources of VOC exposure in laboratories using real-time direct reading wireless detectors
Publication date: Available online 4 February 2018Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Amie E. Norton, Amos Doepke, Fariba Nourian, William B. Connick, Kenneth K. BrownHerein we present the results of measurements using wireless direct-reading photoionization detector-based gas sensors to quantify concentrations of vapors of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in and around flammable storage cabinets containing common organic solvents, including acetone, dichloromethane, trichloroethylene, and benzene. Such cabinets are commonly employed in laboratories to contain flammable liquids. A sensor array was depl...

Integrating responsible care into quality, environmental, health and safety management system: A strategy for Malaysian chemical industries
Publication date: Available online 19 February 2018Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Nur Khairlida Muhamad Khair, Khai Ern Lee, Mazlin Mokhtar, Choo Ta GohA strategy for integrated management system of Quality, Environment, Health and Safety-Responsible Care (QEHS-RC) is proposed to improve the adoption and implementation of Responsible Care program in the chemical industries. This integrated management system provides a basis for the adoption and implementation of Responsible Care program in the chemical industries, moving beyond to a more holistic management system as it connects with other voluntar...

Spread rate of flammable liquids over flat and inclined porous surfaces
Publication date: Available online 24 February 2018Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Tasneem Abbasi, Vipin Kumar, S.M. Tauseef, S.A. AbbasiVery large quantities of flammable substances are produced, transported, and refilled across the world. Of these some, like gasoline and diesel, are liquids at normal temperature and pressure while some others – like liquid petroleum gas (LPG – are pressure liquefied gases. Ever so often accidental spills of these chemicals occur. While some spills are contained before they could do much damage, many others catch fire and often also lead to massive explosions. ...

Lessons learned in several laboratory upgrades
Publication date: Available online 30 March 2018Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): L.C. Cadwallader, R.J. PawelkoWhen upgrades occur in a laboratory, the construction project team generally turns to the lab management for the list of functional requirements. Lab management understands the research requirements but may not fully understand the facility and operational requirements. This deficiency may impact safety, costs, and timely project completion. In recent upgrades for standby power at the Safety and Tritium Applied Research (STAR) laboratory, three important lessons were to consider all operatin...

Variation of United States environmental regulations on pesticide soil standard values
Publication date: Available online 4 April 2018Source: Journal of Chemical Health and SafetyAuthor(s): Zijian LiTo specify the maximum allowable pesticide concentration in soil, pesticide residential soil regulatory guidance values (RGVs) have been promulgated by U.S. state regulatory jurisdictions to protect human health. A total of 12,451 RGVs for 456 identified pesticides adopted by 46 states were analyzed to evaluate whether there is the agreement among pesticide standard values regulated by the U.S.-related jurisdictions. Among them 62 pesticides with at least 50 RGVs were defined as the commonly regulated pesticides,...
