Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS) REGISTRY OF TOXIC EFFECTS OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES (RTECS®) COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO THE RTECS® DORIS V. SWEET EDITOR U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Cincinnati, Ohio 45226 July 1997 ACKNOWLEDGMENT The invaluable assistance of Barbara C. Cromer, Ann Votaw and Mitsuko Estese in producing the camera-ready copy of this publication is gratefully acknowledged. DHHS (NIOSH) PUBLICATION NO. 97-119 ii PREFACE This is the first revision of the Comprehensive Guide, originally published in 1993. A guide to RTECS® had been a part of each printed and each microfiche edition of the Registry. In 1993, we recognized the need to provide to the users of the several electronic formats of RTECS® the information such as the Detailed File Description, tables, codes, abbreviations, and tape layout. This volume is provided as a service to our users in making such information readily available. The last printed edition of RTECS®, the 1985-86 edition, is now out of print and there are no plans for future printed editions. Production of the microfiche edition ceased in July 1993. However, the Registry is maintained and updated electronically each quarter by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The July 1997 update marked the twenty-sixth annual update prepared in accordance with the requirements of Section 20(a)(6) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-596). The original list, then known as the Toxic Substances List, was completed on June 28, 1971, and contained approximately 4,000 substances. As of July 1997, RTECS® contained 139,704 chemical entries. Since the first edition, the database has expanded to include primary skin and eye irritation, mutagenic effects, reproductive effects, tumorigenic effects, acute toxicity, and other multiple dose toxicity data. From its inception, the policy of NIOSH has been to record the lowest dose or lowest exposure concentration reported to cause the tabulated effect. It has also been the policy of NIOSH not to evaluate the data, but to tabulate the values reported. The logic for this is twofold: (1) while most references are drawn from a core list of about 150 technical journals, sources of data also include abstracts, textbooks, government reports, compendia, proceedings of scientific meetings, symposia, industry reports and letters, professional society reports, reports by research institutions, personal communications, and publications from a large number of non-English language journals (most recently patent literature from the United States and other countries has proved to be a rich source of new data); (2) the resources available to the RTECS® program do not allow the time and effort required to perform an evaluation of the vast amount of data that has been accumulated and reported. It was decided that the offering of data from a broad spectrum of sources not generally accessible was of major value to the database users. iii RTECS® EDITORIAL REVIEW BOARD The RTECS® Editorial Review Board was established to serve as a source of advice and technical review for the RTECS® data file. The Board consists of representatives from various NIOSH Divisions and from other Agencies that have a direct interest in the RTECS® program. The Board meets periodically to resolve questions of policy and to review current and projected RTECS® operations. Paul A.

  • Retention Indices for Frequently Reported Compounds of Plant Essential Oils
    Retention Indices for Frequently Reported Compounds of Plant Essential Oils V. I. Babushok,a) P. J. Linstrom, and I. G. Zenkevichb) National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, USA (Received 1 August 2011; accepted 27 September 2011; published online 29 November 2011) Gas chromatographic retention indices were evaluated for 505 frequently reported plant essential oil components using a large retention index database. Retention data are presented for three types of commonly used stationary phases: dimethyl silicone (nonpolar), dimethyl sili- cone with 5% phenyl groups (slightly polar), and polyethylene glycol (polar) stationary phases. The evaluations are based on the treatment of multiple measurements with the number of data records ranging from about 5 to 800 per compound. Data analysis was limited to temperature programmed conditions. The data reported include the average and median values of retention index with standard deviations and confidence intervals.

  • Biological Toxins As the Potential Tools for Bioterrorism

One dictionary defines them as “Chemicals produced by living organisms that have toxic properties for another organism”. Toxins are very attractive to terrorists for use in acts of bioterrorism. The first reason is that many biological toxins can be obtained very easily. Simple bacterial culturing systems and extraction equipment dedicated to plant toxins are cheap and easily available, and can even be constructed at home. Many toxins affect the nervous systems of mammals by interfering with the transmission of nerve impulses, which gives them their high potential in bioterrorist attacks. Others are responsible for blockage of main cellular metabolism, causing cellular death. Moreover, most toxins act very quickly and are lethal in low doses (LD50 < 25 mg/kg), which are very often lower than chemical warfare agents. For these reasons we decided to prepare this review paper which main aim is to present the high potential of biological toxins as factors of bioterrorism describing the general characteristics, mechanisms of action and treatment of most potent biological toxins.

  • The Hematological Complications of Alcoholism
    The Hematological Complications of Alcoholism HAROLD S. BALLARD, M.D. Alcohol has numerous adverse effects on the various types of blood cells and their functions. For example, heavy alcohol consumption can cause generalized suppression of blood cell production and the production of structurally abnormal blood cell precursors that cannot mature into functional cells. Alcoholics frequently have defective red blood cells that are destroyed prematurely, possibly resulting in anemia. Alcohol also interferes with the production and function of white blood cells, especially those that defend the body against invading bacteria. Consequently, alcoholics frequently suffer from bacterial infections. Finally, alcohol adversely affects the platelets and other components of the blood-clotting system. Heavy alcohol consumption thus may increase the drinker’s risk of suffering a stroke. KEY WORDS: adverse drug effect; AODE (alcohol and other drug effects); blood function; cell growth and differentiation; erythrocytes; leukocytes; platelets; plasma proteins; bone marrow; anemia; blood coagulation; thrombocytopenia; fibrinolysis; macrophage; monocyte; stroke; bacterial disease; literature review eople who abuse alcohol1 are at both direct and indirect.

  • 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.
