[Miyazato T et al; Oyo Yakuri 28 (5): 909-24 (1984)] **PEER REVIEWED** Probable Routes of Human Exposure : Cancer incidence was studied among 922 creosote exposed impregnators at 13 plants in Sweden and Norway. The subjects had been impregnating wood (eg, railroad cross-ties and telegraph poles), but no data on individual exposures were available. The study population was restricted to men employed during the period 1950-1975, and their cancer morbidity was checked through the cancer registries. The total cancer incidence was somewhat lower than expected, 129 cases versus 137 expected (standardize incidence ratio 0.94). Increased risks in both countries combined were observed for lip cancer (standardised incidence ratio 2.50, 95% confidence interval (95% confidence interval) 0.81-5.83), skin cancer (standardised incidence ratio 2.37, 95% confidence interval 1.08-4.50), and malignant lymphoma (standardised incidence ratio 1.9, 95% confidence interval 0.83-3.78).

CREOSOTE iii UPDATE STATEMENT Toxicological profiles are revised and republished as necessary, but no less than once every three years. For information regarding the update status of previously released profiles, contact ATSDR at: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Division of Toxicology/Toxicology Information Branch 1600 Clifton Road NE, E-29 Atlanta, Georgia 30333 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.

Efficient demethylation is always of interest in the area of lignin chemistry and application. This study demonstrated a new method for cleaving ether compounds and demethylating lignin in acidic concentrated lithium bromide (ACLB) solution under mild conditions. It was found that the ACLB system could universally cleave ether compounds except for diaryl ethers. The study on lignin model compounds (creosol, syringol, and 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene) verified that ACLB could demethylate them to corresponding phenols. Four real lignin samples produced from various sources by different methods were also efficiently demethylated by 69–82% in ACLB. The lignin demethylation resulted in Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. more phenolic hydroxyl groups, which benefits some downstream applications of lignin. This study also provided new insights into the cleavage of the ether bonds in lignin. In addition to the methyl–aryl ether bond, ACLB could cleave other ether bonds of lignin in β-O-4, β-5, and β-β structures except for the Received 27th July 2020, 4-O-5 bond in the diphenyl structure. The ether bonds were cleaved via the SN2 substitution except for Accepted 9th October 2020 the β-O-4 bond, which was primarily cleaved via the benzyl cation and enol ether intermediates, leading DOI: 10.1039/d0gc02581j to Hibbert’s ketones.

REFERENCES APPENDIX I, ON-LINE DATA BASES SEARCHED APPENDIX II, SAFETY INFORMATION OVERVIEW1 Nomination History: Bis(tri-n-butyltin) oxide (TBTO) was nominated by NCI in 1988 for carcinogenicity testing with a high priority. The request was based on its high and increasing production and its widespread use, the potential for human exposure, the lack of adequate chronic and carcinogenic testing, potential for genotoxicity, and its association with adrenal and pituitary tumors in rats. In addition, small amounts have been shown to be highly toxic to aquatic organisms. Chemical and Physical Properties: TBTO is a clear, colorless to slightly yellow liquid with a strong odor. The compound has a melting point of -45°C (-49°F) and a boiling point of 180°C (356°F) at 2 mm Hg. TBTO is insoluble in water, soluble in most organic solvents (alcohol, chloroform, and benzene), and incompatible with oxidizers and acids. Production/Uses/Exposure: The total production volume of TBTO was reported in the public file of the EPA Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory in 1983 by 4 manufacturers to range from 11,000-111,000 pounds.

The main emphasis is put on elucidating the reaction network, catalyst stability and time-on-stream behavior, in order to better understand the prerequisite for industrial utilization of biomass in HDO to produce fuels and chemicals. The results have shown that more oxygenated feedstock, selection of temperature and pressure as well as presence of certain catalyst poisons or co-feed have a prominent role in the HDO of real biomass. Theoretical considerations, such as density function theory (DFT) calculations, were also considered, giving scientific background for the further development of HDO of real biomass. Keywords: hydrodeoxygenation; bio-oil; guaiacol; lignin; heterogeneous catalyst; fuel 1. Introduction Lignocellulosic biomass, which is abundant, and does not compete with the food chain, has mainly been used for production of pulp and paper via the Kraft process, in which lignin and hemicellulose have been conventionally burnt to generate energy. New transformation processes should be developed in order to utilize the above-mentioned fractions more efficiently. The research in biomass transformation to produce bio-oil via flash pyrolysis [1] and utilize different lignin fractions to produce chemicals and fuels [2,3] has been very intensive in the recent years in part due to the depleting fossil based feedstock and strive towards carbon neutral fuels and chemicals.
