  • Toxicological Profile for Phenol
    PHENOL 21 3. HEALTH EFFECTS 3.1 INTRODUCTION The primary purpose of this chapter is to provide public health officials, physicians, toxicologists, and other interested individuals and groups with an overall perspective on the toxicology of phenol. It contains descriptions and evaluations of toxicological studies and epidemiological investigations and provides conclusions, where possible, on the relevance of toxicity and toxicokinetic data to public health. It should be noted that phenol is the simplest form, or parent compound, of the class of chemicals commonly referred to as phenols or phenolics, many of which are natural substances widely distributed throughout the environment. There is some confusion in the literature as to the use of the term ‘phenol’; in some cases, it has been used to refer to a particular phenolic compound that is more highly substituted than the parent compound (Doan et al. 1979), whereas in other cases, it has been used to refer to the class of phenolic compounds (Beveridge 1997). This chapter, however, addresses only those health effects that can be directly attributable to the parent compound, monohydroxybenzene, or phenol. As Deichmann and Keplinger (1981) note: “It cannot be overemphasized that the structure-activity relationships of phenol and phenol derivatives vary widely, and that to accept the properties of individual phenolic compounds as being those of phenol is a misconception and leads to error and confusion.” A glossary and list of acronyms, abbreviations, and symbols can be found in Appendix C at the end of this profile. 3.2 DISCUSSION OF HEALTH EFFECTS BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE To help public health professionals and others address the needs of persons living or working near hazardous waste sites, the information in this section is organized first by route of exposure (inhalation, oral, and dermal) and then by health effect (death, systemic, immunological, neurological, reproductive, developmental, genotoxic, and carcinogenic effects).

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Creolin® when administered by different pathways in rats experimentally poisoned with Bothrops jararaca venom. In female Wistar rats, the Bothropic venom was inoculated intramuscularly, and then the rats were either treated with Creolin® (administered orally, topically, or intramuscularly), or with amixture of venom + Creolin® intramuscularly. Animals that received Creolin®, apart from the venom, by oral, topical, or intramuscular routes developed local symptoms and showed laboratory findings similar to those animals that received only the venom. Conversely, animals inoculated with the venom incubated with Creolin® showed no signs of local venom toxicity (necrosis or hemorrhage) and displayed hematological parameters within the normal range for the species. These results suggest that Creolin® exhibited an antiophidian effect only when it is mixed with the venom and administered intramuscularly. Key words: antivenom, folk medicine, bothropic venom.

    TOXICOLOGICAL PROFILE FOR PHENOL U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry September 2008 PHENOL ii DISCLAIMER The use of company or product name(s) is for identification only and does not imply endorsement by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. PHENOL iii UPDATE STATEMENT A Toxicological Profile for Phenol, Draft for Public Comment was released in October 2006. This edition supersedes any previously released draft or final profile. Toxicological profiles are revised and republished as necessary. For information regarding the update status of previously released profiles, contact ATSDR at: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Division of Toxicology and Environmental Medicine/Applied Toxicology Branch 1600 Clifton Road NE Mailstop F-32 Atlanta, Georgia 30333 PHENOL iv This page is intentionally blank. PHENOL v FOREWORD This toxicological profile is prepared in accordance with guidelines developed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The original guidelines were published in the Federal Register on April 17, 1987. Each profile will be revised and republished as necessary. The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for the hazardous substance described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a hazardous substance’s toxicologic properties. Other pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies. The profile is not intended to be an exhaustive document; however, more comprehensive sources of specialty information are referenced. The focus of the profiles is on health and toxicologic information; therefore, each toxicological profile begins with a public health statement that describes, in nontechnical language, a substance’s relevant toxicological properties.

  • Occupational Cancer* H
    OCCUPATIONAL CANCER* H. C. ROSS1 From Laboratories at the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine, London Received for publication September 26, 1917 PART 1 The expression “ occuprttional cancer’’ in reality refers only to a predisposition to the disease, caused by the action of a group of commodities used in certain trades and occupations. The substances in question do not directly cause cancer, but affect the tissues in such a way (usually by giving rise to cell- proliferation of an adventjtious type) that the site is rendered specifically prone to malignant invasion. It is well known that soot is one of these comm.odities, and there is considerable evi- dence that tobacco-smoke helps ih causing the incidence of epi- thelioma in the throat and larynx. It has generally been con- sidered that this predisposition is due merely to mechanical “irritation” of the tissues, and therefore the subject has not hitherto received much if any systematic investigation, for it is common knowledge that chronic mechanical injury in certain tissues during senescence is liable to predispose to malignant invasion; but during the recent government enquiry into pitch cancer at the briquette works in South Wales some new clinical facts have been found out, which make it appear that some definite, if not specific, chemical rather than mechanical action is concerned in the causation of industrial cancer.2 This has led to the investigation of other commodities the use of which also gives rise to cancer under certain conditions; and when all of them are examined collectively, there seems to be considerable * The author has not read the proof of this article.
