    12. CHEMICAL FACT SHEETS WHO (2003) Cadmium in drinking-water. Background document for preparation of WHO Guidelines for drinking-water quality. Geneva, World Health Organization (WHO/SDE/WSH/03.04/80). 12.18 Carbofuran Carbofuran (CAS No. 1563-66-2) is used worldwide as a pesticide for many crops. Residues in treated crops are generally very low or not detectable. The physical and chemical properties of carbofuran and the few data on occurrence indicate that drink- ing-water from both groundwater and surface water sources is potentially the major route of exposure. Guideline value 0.007 mg/litre Occurrence Has been detected in surface water, groundwater and drinking-water, generally at levels of a few micrograms per litre or lower; highest concentration (30 mg/litre) measured in groundwater ADI 0.002 mg/kg of body weight based on a NOAEL of 0.22 mg/kg of body weight per day for acute (reversible) effects in dogs in a short-term (4- week) study conducted as an adjunct to a 13-week study in which inhibition of erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase activity was observed, and using an uncertainty factor of 100 Limit of detection 0.1 mg/litre by GC with a nitrogen–phosphorus detector; 0.9 mg/litre by reverse-phase HPLC with a fluorescence detector Treatment achievability 1 mg/litre should be achievable using GAC Guideline derivation • allocation to water 10% of ADI • weight 60-kg adult • consumption 2 litres/day Additional comments Use of a 4-week study was considered appropriate because the NOAEL is based on a reversible acute effect; the NOAEL will also be protective for chronic effects.

Received: 30 March 2012; in revised form: 9 May 2012 / Accepted: 10 May 2012 / Published: 18 May 2012 Abstract: The synthetic investigation of biologically active natural compounds serves two main purposes: (i) the total synthesis of alkaloids and their analogues; (ii) modification of the structures for producing more selective, more effective, or less toxic derivatives. In the chemistry of dimeric Vinca alkaloids enormous efforts have been directed towards synthesizing new derivatives of the antitumor agents vinblastine and vincristine so as to obtain novel compounds with improved therapeutic properties. Keywords: antitumor therapy; vinblastine; vincristine; derivatives 1. Introduction Vinblastine (1) and vincristine (2) are dimeric alkaloids (Figure 1) isolated from the Madagaskar periwinkle plant (Catharantus roseus), exhibit significant cytotoxic activity and are used in the antitumor therapy as antineoplastic agents. In the course of cell proliferation they act as inhibitors during the metaphase of the cell cycle and by binding to the microtubules inhibit the development of the mitotic spindle. In tumor cells these agents inhibit the DNA repair and the RNA synthesis mechanisms, blocking the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Molecules 2012, 17 5894 Figure 1.

These patterns of signs and symptoms are essential for the successful recognition of chemical exposure. The toxidromes identified in this protocol are chemical exposure based while others such as the opioids are found within general medical protocol. These chemical toxidromes are identified clinically into five syndromes: Irritant Gas Toxidrome Asphyxiant Toxidrome Corrosive Toxidrome Hydrocarbon and Halogenated Hydrocarbons Toxidrome Cholinergic Toxidrome Each can present as a clinical manifestation of the chemical/poisoning involved with some cross-over between toxidromes.

  • Organophosphate Poisoning : a Review
    120 Sinha and Sharma Med J Indones Organophosphate poisoning : A review Parmod K. Sinha, Ashok Sharma Abstrak Pestisida organofosfat digunakan secara luas di seluruh dunia. Keracunan oleh bahan ini merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat, terutama di negara berkembang. Zat neurotoksik organofosfat merupakan bahan yang dianggap mengancam dalam bidang militer dan terorisme. Mekanisme toksisitas bahan ini adalah dengan cara menghambat asetilkolinesterase yang mengakibatkan menumpuknya neurotransmitor asetilkolin dan terjadi rangsangan terus-menerus pada reseptor asetilkolin pada sistem saraf sentral maupun perifer. Selain krisis kolinergik, organofosfat dapat menimbulkan berbagai sindrom neurologis, baik akut maupun kronik. Sedangkan gejala peralihan ( intermediate) terjadi 1-4 hari setelah krisis kolinergik teratasi. Pengobatan standar terdiri dari reaktivasi asetilkolinesterase dengan antidot golongan oksim (prolidoksim, oksidoksime, HI-6 dan HLo7), dan pengendalian efek biokimia asetilkolin dengan menggunakan atropin. Golongan oksim yang baru HI-6 dan Hlo7 merupakan reaktivator asetilkolinesterase yang lebih cocok dan efektif untuk keracunan akut dan berat dibandingkan dengan prolidoksim dan obidoksim. Penderita yang mendapat pengobatan segera, biasanya dapat sembuh dari toksisitas akut, namun gejala neurologis ikutan dapat saja terjadi.

  • P-Listed Hazardous Wastes
    P-Listed Hazardous Wastes The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified a number of chemicals on the EPA “P-list” that present an especially acute hazard when disposed of as hazardous waste. Because of their acute hazards, there are more stringent requirements when disposing of these wastes: ►Container size: When collecting p-listed chemicals as waste, the volume of the hazardous waste container must not exceed one quart (approximately one liter). ►Empty containers: Empty containers that held p-listed chemicals must also be disposed of as hazardous waste. They are not allowed to be washed or re-used. ►Contaminated materials: Disposable materials that become contaminated with p-listed chemicals (e.g. gloves, weighing boats, etc.) must also be disposed of as hazardous waste. Non-disposable materials must be “triple-rinsed”, or rinsed three times to remove the contamination. This rinsate must be collected as hazardous waste. Materials contaminated with p-listed chemicals may not be washed or re-used until they have been triple-rinsed. Remember: - Label the waste as hazardous waste. Most common p-listed wastes Just like all other hazardous wastes, p-listed Chemical CAS number wastes must be labeled with the words Acrolein 107–02–8 “hazardous waste”, the complete chemical Allyl alcohol 107–18–6 name, and the associated hazard Arsenic compounds Varies characteristics (e.g., ignitable, corrosive, Inorganic cyanide Varies toxic, or reactive). salts Carbon disulfide 75-15-0 - Use disposable materials whenever Cyanogen and 460-19-5, 506-77-4 possible.
