  • Ghs Reference Materials Health Hazard Criteria
    APPENDIX F: GHS REFERENCE MATERIALS This appendix provides both an overview of GHS highly toxic hazard classification. A listing of Particularly Hazardous Substances that Carnegie Mellon University has published with their Chemical Hygiene plan is also provided as general reference. The list is useful cross check with GHS listings to determine which materials require prior approval for use BUT NO LIST IS COMPLETE you must check the SDS for possible additional chemicals rated as highly toxic. This appendix also provides the GHS (global harmonization system) for chemical hazard classification under the Hazard Communication Standard for highly toxic materials. This section provides overall information about categories under the classification of acute toxicity, mutagens’, reproductive and carcinogen hazards. When chemicals are rated on the GHS – Safety Data Sheet (SDS) as the following hazards then the PRIOR APPROVAL PROCESS WITH CHEMICAL HYGIENE OFFICER/COMMITTEE must be used: Acute toxicity category 1 and 2, Germ cell mutagenicity as a category 1A Substances known to induce heritable mutations in germ cells of humans and Category 1B: Substances which should be regarded as if they induce heritable mutations in the germ cells of humans, Reproductive Hazard as a category 1: Known or presumed human reproductive toxicants and Category 2; suspected human reproductive toxicant. Carcinogen as a Category 1 (includes 1A and 1B): Known or presumed human carcinogens, Category 2: Suspected human carcinogens. The Campus Chemical Hygiene Committee (Officer) must conduct a prior approval process. Appendix C Chemical Prior Approval Form on procedure for conducing prior approval. The following is from OSHA standard on the chemicals classifications that PCC Laboratory instructional operations shall use for defining the prior approval hazards.

  • Is Exposure to BMAA a Risk Factor for Neurodegenerative Diseases? a Response to a Critical Review of the BMAA Hypothesis
    Neurotoxicity Research (2021) 39:81–106 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12640-020-00302-0 S.I. : BMAA Is Exposure to BMAA a Risk Factor for Neurodegenerative Diseases? A Response to a Critical Review of the BMAA Hypothesis Dunlop RA1 · Banack SA1 · Bishop SL2 · Metcalf JS1 · Murch SJ3 · Davis DA4 · Stommel EW5 · Karlsson O6 · Brittebo EB7 · Chatziefthimiou AD8 · Tan VX9 · Guillemin GG9 · Cox PA1 · Mash DC10 · Bradley WG4 Received: 9 September 2020 / Revised: 19 October 2020 / Accepted: 20 October 2020 / Published online: 6 February 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract In a literature survey, Chernof et al. (2017) dismissed the hypothesis that chronic exposure to β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) may be a risk factor for progressive neurodegenerative disease. They question the growing scientifc literature that suggests the following: (1) BMAA exposure causes ALS/PDC among the indigenous Chamorro people of Guam; (2) Gua- manian ALS/PDC shares clinical and neuropathological features with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and ALS; (3) one possible mechanism for protein misfolds is misincorporation of BMAA into proteins as a substitute for L-serine; and (4) chronic exposure to BMAA through diet or environmental exposures to cyanobacterial blooms can cause neuro- degenerative disease. We here identify multiple errors in their critique including the following: (1) their review selectively cites the published literature; (2) the authors reported favorably on HILIC methods of BMAA detection while the literature shows signifcant matrix efects and peak coelution in HILIC that may prevent detection and quantifcation of BMAA in cyanobacteria; (3) the authors build alternative arguments to the BMAA hypothesis, rather than explain the published lit- erature which, to date, has been unable to refute the BMAA hypothesis; and (4) the authors erroneously attribute methods to incorrect studies, indicative of a failure to carefully consider all relevant publications.

    Eye and Brain Dovepress open access to scientific and medical research Open Access Full Text Article REVIEW Etiology of Retinal and Cerebellar Pathology in Western Pacific Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Parkinsonism-Dementia Complex This article was published in the following Dove Press journal: Eye and Brain Peter S Spencer Purpose: To reexamine the etiology of a unique retinal pathology (linear and vermiform sub-retinal tubular structures) described among subjects with and without neurodegenerative Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, Oregon Institute of disease in former high-incidence foci of Western Pacific amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Occupational Health Sciences, Oregon parkinsonism-dementia complex (ALS/PDC) in Guam (USA) and the Kii peninsula of Health & Science University, Portland, Honshu island (Japan). OR, USA Methods: Analysis of published and unpublished reports of 1) ALS/PDC and the retinal and cerebellar pathology associated therewith and 2) exogenous neurotoxic factors associated with ALS/PDC and the developing retina and cerebellum. Results: ALS/PDC retinal and cerebellar pathology matches persistent retinal and cerebellar dysplasia found in laboratory animals given single in utero or postnatal systemic treatment with cycasin, the principal neurotoxic component in the seed of cycad plants traditionally used for food (Guam) or oral medicine (Kii-Japan), both of which have been linked to the human neurodegenerative disease. Conclusion: ALS/PDC-associated retinal and cerebellar dysplasia could arise from in

Spatz Laboratory of Experimental Pathology, National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases, NJH, Bethesda, Maryland 20014 INTRODUCTION Nishida and Yamada (34) found that formaldehyde in sotetsu (the Japanese name for Cycas revoluta) was a part of a new The purpose of this review is to summarize the toxicology of the naturally occurring glucoside cycasein, methylazoxy- glucoside from which it was liberated by the action of an methanol-0-D -glucoside emulsion present in sotetsu. Formaldehyde resulted from enzymatic decomposition of a glucoside in sotetsu seeds, and sotetsu poisoning was considered to be due to its formalde hyde content (29). (CH3-N:N-CH2OC6HU0S),-N:N-( The first biochemical isolation of a glucoside from cycads was reported by Cooper (1) who obtained a crystalline and of its metabolite, methylazoxymethanol (MAM) substance from seeds of Macrozamia spiralis, an Australian cycad, and named it macrozamin. It was toxic to guinea pigs when given by mouth, but nontoxic when injected subcu- (CH3-N:N-CH2OH). taneously. The carbohydrate component in macrozamin was later identified as primeverose, which was attached to the aglycone in a /3-glucosidic link (21). The aglycone part of macro These compounds are extractable from seeds and roots of zamin was determined to have an aliphatic azoxy structure cycad plants (15). Macrozamin was reported to be present also in seeds of Cycads are ancient gymnospermous plants which are con cycads growing in Queensland, Australia (37) and in Encep- sidered an intermediate form in plant evolution from ferns to halartos barken, an African cycad, according to Lythgoe as flowering plants.

Received: 9 August 2011; in revised form: 9 September 2011 / Accepted: 15 September 2011 / Published: 29 September 2011 Abstract: Western Pacific amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and parkinsonism-dementia complex, a disappearing neurodegenerative disease linked to use of the neurotoxic cycad plant for food and/or medicine, is intensively studied because the neuropathology (tauopathy) is similar to that of Alzheimer’s disease. Cycads contain neurotoxic and genotoxic principles, notably cycasin and methylazoxymethanol, the latter sharing chemical relations with nitrosamines, which are derived from nitrates and nitrites in preserved meats and fertilizers, and also used in the rubber and leather industries. This review includes new data that influence understanding of the neurobiological actions of cycad and related genotoxins and the putative mechanisms by which they might trigger neurodegenerative disease. Keywords: Guam; cycad; methylazoxymethanol (MAM); -N-methylamino-L-alanine (L-BMAA); DNA damage; tauopathy; neurodegenerative disease; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS); parkinsonism-dementia; nitrosamines; formaldehyde Int.
