Toxicological Profile for Acetone Draft for Public Comment
ACETONE 1 Toxicological Profile for Acetone Draft for Public Comment July 2021 ***DRAFT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT*** ACETONE ii DISCLAIMER Use of trade names is for identification only and does not imply endorsement by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, the Public Health Service, or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This information is distributed solely for the purpose of pre dissemination public comment under applicable information quality guidelines. It has not been formally disseminated by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. It does not represent and should not be construed to represent any agency determination or policy. ***DRAFT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT*** ACETONE iii 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 these toxic substances described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a 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 relevance to public health discussion which would allow a public health professional to make a real-time determination of whether the presence of a particular substance in the environment poses a potential threat to human health. -

Banfield 2,6, Wen-Jun Li 7,8 & Brett J. Baker 1 Geothermal environments, such as hot springs and hydrothermal vents, are hotspots for carbon cycling and contain many poorly described microbial taxa. Here, we reconstructed 15 1234567890():,; archaeal metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from terrestrial hot spring sediments in China and deep-sea hydrothermal vent sediments in Guaymas Basin, Gulf of California. Phylogenetic analyses of these MAGs indicate that they form a distinct group within the TACK superphylum, and thus we propose their classification as a new phylum, ‘Brock- archaeota’, named after Thomas Brock for his seminal research in hot springs. Based on the MAG sequence information, we infer that some Brockarchaeota are uniquely capable of mediating non-methanogenic anaerobic methylotrophy, via the tetrahydrofolate methyl branch of the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway and reductive glycine pathway. The hydrothermal vent genotypes appear to be obligate fermenters of plant-derived polysaccharides that rely mostly on substrate-level phosphorylation, as they seem to lack most respiratory complexes. -
Application of High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry and a Theoretical
pubs.acs.org/est Article Application of High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry and a Theoretical Model to the Quantification of Multifunctional Carbonyls and Organic Acids in e‑Cigarette Aerosol Yichen Li, Amanda E. Burns, Guy J.P. Burke, Morgan E. Poindexter, Amy K. Madl, Kent E. Pinkerton, and Tran B. Nguyen* Cite This: Environ. Sci. Technol. 2020, 54, 5640−5650 Read Online ACCESS Metrics & More Article Recommendations *sı Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Electronic (e-) cigarette aerosol (particle and gas) is a complex mixture of chemicals, of which the profile is highly dependent on device operating parameters and e-liquid flavor formulation. The thermal degradation of the e-liquid solvents propylene glycol and glycerol often generates multifunctional carbonyls that are challenging to quantify because of unavailability of standards. We developed a theoretical method to calculate the relative electrospray ionization sensitivities of hydrazones of organic acids and carbonyls with 2,4-dinitrophe- Δ nylhydrazine based on their gas-phase basicities ( Gdeprotonation). This method enabled quantification by high-performance liquid chromatography−high- resolution mass spectrometry HPLC-HRMS in the absence of chemical standards. Accurate mass and tandem multistage MS (MSn) were used for structure identification of vaping products. We quantified five simple carbonyls, six hydroxycarbonyls, four dicarbonyls, three acids, and one phenolic carbonyl in the e-cigarette aerosol with Classic Tobacco flavor. Our results suggest that hydroxycarbonyls, such as hydroxyacetone, lactaldehyde, and dihydroxyacetone can be significant components in e-cigarette aerosols but have received less attention in the literature and have poorly understood health effects. The data support the radical-mediated e-liquid thermal degradation scheme that has been previously proposed and emphasize the need for more research on the chemistry and toxicology of the complex product formation in e-cigarette aerosols. -

An in Silico Characterization of Microbial Electrosynthesis for Metabolic Engineering of Biochemicals
An in silico Characterization of Microbial Electrosynthesis for Metabolic Engineering of Biochemicals by Aditya Pandit A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirement for the degree of Masters of Applied Science Graduate Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry University of Toronto (c) Copyright by Aditya Pandit 2012 An in silico Characterization of Microbial Electrosynthesis for Metabolic Engineering of Biochemicals Aditya Vikram Pandit Masters of Applied Science Graduate Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry University of Toronto 2012 ABSTRACT A critical concern in metabolic engineering is the need to balance the demand and supply of redox intermediates. Bioelectrochemical techniques offer a promising method to alleviate redox imbalances during the synthesis of biochemicals. Broadly, these techniques reduce intracellular NAD+ to NADH and therefore manipulate the cell‘s redox balance. The cellular response to such redox changes and the additional reducing can be harnessed to produce desired metabolites. In the context of microbial fermentation, these bioelectrochemical techniques can improve product yields and/or productivity. We have developed a method to characterize the role of bioelectrosynthesis in chemical production using the genome-scale metabolic model of E. coli. The results elucidate the role of bioelectrosynthesis and its impact on biomass growth, cellular ATP yields and biochemical production. The results also suggest that strain design strategies can change for fermentation ii processes that employ microbial electrosynthesis and suggest that dynamic operating strategies lead to maximizing productivity. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to give my thanks to my supervisor, Prof. Mahadevan for giving me the opportunity to do my masters degree in his lab. -
