  • PESTICIDES Criteria for a Recommended Standard
    CRITERIA FOR A RECOMMENDED STANDARD OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE DURING THE MANUFACTURE AND FORMULATION OF PESTICIDES criteria for a recommended standard... OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE DURING THE MANUFACTURE AND FORMULATION OF PESTICIDES * U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE Public Health Service Center for Disease Control National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health July 1978 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 DISCLAIMER Mention of company names or products does not constitute endorsement by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. DHEW (NIOSH) Publication No. 78-174 PREFACE The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 emphasizes the need for standards to protect the health and provide for the safety of workers occupationally exposed to an ever-increasing number of potential hazards. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has implemented a formal system of research, with priorities determined on the basis of specified indices, to provide relevant data from which valid criteria for effective standards can be derived. Recommended standards for occupational exposure, which are the result of this work, are based on the effects of exposure on health. The Secretary of Labor will weigh these recommendations along with other considerations, such as feasibility and means of implementation, in developing regulatory standards. Successive reports will be presented as research and epideiriologic studies are completed and as sampling and analytical methods are developed. Criteria and standards will be reviewed periodically to ensure continuing protection of workers. The contributions to this document on pesticide manufacturing and formulating industries by NIOSH staff members, the review consultants, the reviewer selected by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), other Federal agencies, and by Robert B.

The harvested wet cells were vacuum dried, and the storage stability of the dried cell powder was determined in terms of OPH activity. Over a period of 5 mo, the dried cells showed no significant decrease in the activities of the detoxifying enzymes. The crude enzymes in 50 mM citrate-phosphate buffer (pH 8.0) were able to degrade approx 97% of the organophosphate pesticides sprayed on cabbage. The detoxification effi- ciency was superior to that of the treatments of water, detergent, and a com- mercially available enzyme product. Additionally, the products of pesticide hydrolysis generated by treatment with the enzyme extract were determined to be virtually nontoxic. Index Entries: Organophosphorus hydrolase; organophosphates; car- boxyl esterase B1.

    REVIEW ARTICLE SOME CHEMICAL AND MEDICAL ASPECTS OF THE ANTIBIOTICS* By G. G. F. N e w t o n , M.A., D.Phil. a n d E. P. Abraham, M.A., D.Phil., F.R.S. Sir William Dunn School o f Pathology, University o f Oxford T here is no uniformity in the use of the word antibiotic, but we propose here to accept Waksman’s definition that an antibiotic is a substance produced by one micro-organism which is capable of interfering with the growth of others1. This definition excludes synthetic drugs, such as the sulphonamides, isoniazid, and p-aminosalicylic acid, and also the anti­ bacterial substances produced by higher plants. The use of moulds for the local treatment of infected wounds has a long history in folk medicine, but these early remedies seem to have had little rational basis. Scientific observations on the inhibition of the growth of one micro-organism by the products of another were first made in the second half of the nineteenth century2, and at that time there began the growth of the idea that such inhibitory products might be used, by injection into the blood stream, to combat systemic infections in man. A substance which is used in this way, as a systemic chemotherapeutic agent, must clearly be much more toxic to the infecting organism than to the cells of the human body, and it must retain its antimicrobial activity in the presence of the blood and body fluids. During the first thirty years of the present century no chemotherapeutic agent which could safely be injected into the blood stream was obtained from a micro-organism.

  • Impact of Long Term Pesticide Usage on Soil Properties Using Radiotracer Techniques
    IAEA-TECDOC-1248 Impact of long term pesticide usage on soil properties using radiotracer techniques Proceedings of a Final Research Coordination meeting organized by the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture and held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, 24–28 May 1999 November 2001 The originating Section of this publication in the IAEA was: Food and Environmental Protection Section International Atomic Energy Agency Wagramer Strasse 5 P.O. Box 100 A-1400 Vienna, Austria IMPACT OF LONG TERM PESTICIDE USAGE ON SOIL PROPERTIES USING RADIOTRACER TECHNIQUES IAEA, VIENNA, 2001 IAEA-TECDOC-1248 ISSN 1011–4289 © IAEA, 2001 Printed by the IAEA in Austria November 2001 FOREWORD An important activity of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is to assist Member States to ensure that, as far as possible, pesticides are used effectively and safely. To this end, FAO has published Guidelines for the Registration and Control of Pesticides, which forms the basis of most national pesticide registration schemes. Among the recommendations is that data should be provided to show that a candidate pesticide has no unacceptable effects on non-target organisms. Soil micro-flora and fauna, because of their central role in maintaining soil fertility, are highly ranked in this context. Concern has been expressed that the data normally presented may not be adequate to predict the effects on soil micro-organisms of repeated, heavy, multiple applications of pesticides that are common in monocultures of crops, such as cotton, maize and rice. Evaluation of the effects of such pesticide regimes requires studies of a range of soil microbial activities, some of which require the use of 14C-labelled pesticides.
