  • Toxicological Profile for Radon
    RADON 205 10. GLOSSARY Some terms in this glossary are generic and may not be used in this profile. Absorbed Dose, Chemical—The amount of a substance that is either absorbed into the body or placed in contact with the skin. For oral or inhalation routes, this is normally the product of the intake quantity and the uptake fraction divided by the body weight and, if appropriate, the time, expressed as mg/kg for a single intake or mg/kg/day for multiple intakes. For dermal exposure, this is the amount of material applied to the skin, and is normally divided by the body mass and expressed as mg/kg. Absorbed Dose, Radiation—The mean energy imparted to the irradiated medium, per unit mass, by ionizing radiation. Units: rad (rad), gray (Gy). Absorbed Fraction—A term used in internal dosimetry. It is that fraction of the photon energy (emitted within a specified volume of material) which is absorbed by the volume. The absorbed fraction depends on the source distribution, the photon energy, and the size, shape and composition of the volume. Absorption—The process by which a chemical penetrates the exchange boundaries of an organism after contact, or the process by which radiation imparts some or all of its energy to any material through which it passes. Self-Absorption—Absorption of radiation (emitted by radioactive atoms) by the material in which the atoms are located; in particular, the absorption of radiation within a sample being assayed. Absorption Coefficient—Fractional absorption of the energy of an unscattered beam of x- or gamma- radiation per unit thickness (linear absorption coefficient), per unit mass (mass absorption coefficient), or per atom (atomic absorption coefficient) of absorber, due to transfer of energy to the absorber.

Some seafood from African Indian and the Red Sea coasts such as mollusks and fishes have presented Cd, Pb and Hg concentrations higher than permitted limit by FAOUN/EU regulations, indicating a possible threat to public health. Thus, the operationalization of the heavy metals (HM) monitoring and control is strongly recommended since these countries have laboratories with minimal conditions for HM analysis.

All the mutagenic heterocyclic amines tested were carcinogenic in rodents fish and meat were also found to be mutagenic to TA98 after when given in the diet at 0.01-0.08%. Most of them induced cancer in metabolic activation (9, 10). These findings led to the isolations the liver and in other organs.

  • Carcinogens and Reproductive Toxicants
    Facilities Management Environmental Health and Safety Principal Investigator: Date Approved: This document covers basic chemical safety information for carcinogens and reproductive toxicants. The use of any carcinogen or reproductive toxicant is subject to pre-approval by the Toxic Substances Committee. DO NOT USE CARCINOGENS OR REPRODUCTIVE TOXICANTS UNTIL YOU HAVE OBTAINED THE NECESSARY APPROVAL. Carcinogens and Reproductive Toxicants Refer to the University of Arkansas Chemical Hygiene Plan for a description of chemicals that will be considered as a Particularly Hazardous Substance (PHS) carcinogen or reproductive toxicant. Chemicals that meet the definition of a PHS carcinogen or reproductive toxicant must be used only in a designated area where limited access, special procedures, knowledge, and work skills are required. A designated area can be the entire laboratory, a specific laboratory workbench, or a laboratory hood. Designated areas must be clearly marked with signs that identify the chemical hazard and include an appropriate warning; for example: WARNING! CARCINOGEN/ REPRODUCTIVE TOXICANT WORK AREA Carcinogens are materials that have the potential to cause cancer. Reproductive toxicants are materials that have the potential to interfere with fertility, fetal development, and/or lactation. Mutagens are materials that can cause genetic mutations. Such mutations can often lead to cancer or reproductive toxicity. Please note that the use of Listed Carcinogens, halogenated liquids, ethidium bromide, and formaldehyde is not covered by this general SOP. Exposure, Signs and Symptoms and Chemical Properties Review the appropriate sections of the chemical specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for information on ways to detect exposure, appropriate exposure limits, signs and symptoms of exposures and chemical properties.

  • Carcinogens and Mutagens Fact Sheet
    Carcinogens and Mutagens Fact Sheet This fact sheet is for general safety awareness. Individual Standard Operating Procedures for all experiments and processes involving carcinogens or mutagens must be developed by the laboratory. PROPERTIES & HAZARDS Carcinogens are chemicals that are known or suspected to cause cancer in humans. Cancer is a chronic effect and is typically the result of repeated or long-term exposure. Symptoms may develop many years after exposure. A known human carcinogen means there is sufficient evidence of a cause and effect relationship between exposure to the material and cancer in humans. A substance that has induced cancer in experimental animal studies is referred to as a suspected human carcinogen. Mutations are defined as causing a permanent change in the amount or structure of the genetic material in a cell. The term mutation applies both to heritable genetic changes that may be manifested at the phenotypic level and to the underlying DNA modifications when known. This hazard class is primarily concerned with chemicals that may cause mutations in the germ cells of humans that can be transmitted to the progeny. However, mutagenicity/genotoxicity tests in vitro and in mammalian somatic cells in vivo are also considered in classifying substances and mixtures within this hazard class. There are three categories for carcinogens and mutagens, Category 1A, 1B and 2, that you may see on the safety data sheet (SDS) or chemical bottle. In Section 2 – Hazard Identification of the SDS, a combination of the following hazard classifications, pictograms and hazard statements will be listed indicating a carcinogen or mutagen hazard.

I (September. 2018), PP 89-91 www.iosrjournals.org The Calculation of Median Lethal Dose (LD50) And Maximum Permissible Dose (MPD) Values of Sodium Arsenite In Female Swiss Albino Mice *Shailendra Kumar And Preety Sinha Departement of Zoology, A. N. College, Patna, Bihar, India. Corresponding Author: Shailendra Kumar Abstract: Sodium arsenite is an environmental pollutant and is responsible for both knowing poisonings and accidental exposures that can cause harmful health issues and possibly death. Median lethal dose (LD50) is a statistically obtained dose of a compound that can be predicted to cause death in 50% of the mice when administered by a specific route as a single dose and mice noticed for a specific time period. In the present research, different doses i.e., 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 mg/kg body weight of Sodium arsenite was given orally by gavage method to the seven different groups of Swiss albino mice. Signs and symptoms of toxicity and probable death of mice were observed for 3 hours and then at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours to calculate the Median lethal dose (LD50) and maximum permissible dose (MPD) of Sodium arsenite. The LD50 was found to 18 mg/kg body weight after oral administration in Swiss albino mice. Finally, MPD of Sodium arsenite by oral route in mice was found to be 1.8 mg/kg body weight.
