The possible adverse effect of these chemicals on human heal th 15 a matter of international concerne The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has consequently initiated a programme for the evaluation of the carcinogenic risk of chemicals to man, which was supported by a Resolution of the Governing Council at its Ninth Session concerning the role of the Agency in providing government autho- ri ties wi th expert, independent scientific opinion on environ- mental carcinogenes is. As one means to this end, the Governing Council recommended that the Agency should continue ta prepare monographs on the carcinogenic risk of individual chemicals to man. In view of the importance of this programme and in order to expedi te the production of monographs, the National Cancer Ins ti tute of the United States has provided IARC wi th addi tional funds for this purpose. The objective of this programme IS to achieve and publish a balanced evaluation of data through the deliberations of an international group of experts in chemical carcinogenesis and to put into perspective the present state of knowledge with the final aim of evaluating the data in terms of possible human risk, as well as to indicate the need for research efforts to close the gaps in our knowledge. SCOPE OF THE MONOGRAPHS In 1972 the first volume of these monographs was publ ishedl . 1 International Agency for Research on Cancer (1972) IARC on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risk of Chemicals to M~n, l, Lyon 7 These monographs summarize the evidence for the carcinogenicity of individual chemicals in a condensed uniform manner for easy comparison. The data were compiled, reviewed and evaluated by a working group of experts. No recommendations are given concerning preventive measures or legislation, since these matters depend on risk-benefi t evaluatiòn which seems best made by individual governments and/or international agencies such as WHO and ILO. The first volume covered a number of substances not belonging to a particular chemical group, and the second volumel contains monographs on some inorganic and organometall ic compounds. The present volume is devoted to a number of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic compounds. As new data on chemicals for which monographs have already been written and new principles for evaluation become available, re-evalua tion will be made at future meetings and revised monographs will be published as necessary. Special meetings can be called to evaluate important compounds for which the data are controversial and for which there seems to be an urgent need for action by public health authorities. The monographs will be distributed to international and governmental agencies, will be available to industries and scientists deal ing with these chemicals, and will form the basis of advice from IARC on carcinogenesis from these subs tances. MECHANISM FOR PRODUCING THE MONOGRAPHS As a first step, a list of chemicals for possible consideration by the Working Group was established. IARC collected pertinent references regarding physico-chemical characteristics, use and occurrence, as well as biological data 1 International Agency for Research on Cancer (l973) IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risk of Chemical s to Man, l, Some Inorganic and Organometallic Compounds (in press) 8 on these compounds. The ma terial was summarized by an expert consul tant or an lARC staff member, who prepared the first draft monograph, which in some cases was sent to another expert for comments. This draft was circulated to all members of the Working Group about two months before the meeting, at which further addi tions to and deletions from the da ta were agreed upon and a final vers ion of comments and evalua tion on each compound was adopted. Priority for the Preparation of Monographs Priority for consideration was given mainly to chemicals for which sorne adequa te experimental evidence of carcinogenici ty existed and/or for which there was evidence of human exposure. However, nei ther human exposure nor potential carcinogenici ty could be judged until all the relevant data had been collected and examined in detail. The inclusion of a particular compound in a monograph did not necessarily mean that the substance was considered to be carcinogenic. Equally,

The yield of extract increased as the increase of reforming temperature (360 ~ 420oC) and time (1 ~ 4 hr). Molecular weight of the as-received NCB oil was under 200, and those of extracts were distributed in the range of 100-250, and far smaller than those of precursor pitches of 380-550. Naphtalene-based compounds were more than 70% in the as-received NCB oil, and most of them were isomers of compounds bonding functional groups, such as methyl (CH3-) and ethyl (C2H5-). When the as-received NCB oil was reformed at 360oC for 1 hr, the most prominent compound was 1,2-Butadien, 3-phenyl- (24.57%), while naphthalene became main component again as increasing the reforming temperature.

    POLYMETHYLENE PYRIDINES , A thesis submitted by David Robert Brittain in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OP PHILOSOPHY in the University of London Organic Chemistry Department, dune, 1965. Imperial College, LONDON, S.W.7. ABSTRACT This thesis describes a series of attempts to syn- thesise 2,5- and 1,4-polymethylene bridged pyridines. Nuclear magnetic resonance theory predicts that protons, which are held directly over an aromatic ring, will be abnormally shielded compared with protons in aliphatic straight-chain hydrocarbons. This prediction has been verified for the central methylene protons of paracyclo- phanes. The degree of shielding, expressed in terms of the distance from the aromatic ring, is a measure of the induced ring current and hence the aromaticity of the benzene ring. Similar measurements upon 2,5- or 1,4— polymethylene bridged pyridines would make it possible to determine the degree of aromaticity of the pyridine ring relative to benzene. A review of the subject of aromaticity is presented in which special reference has been made to its inter- pretation by nuclear magnetic resonance. The synthetic work has not been brougL.t to a truly satisfactory conclusion. However, the synthetic routes to 2,5-dialkylpyridines have been thoroughly investigated and a wide variety of such compounds prepared. The functional groups at the ends of the alkyl chains have been varied in an effort to produce a derivative which would cyclise to give a 2,5-bridged pyridine. The attempted intramolecular oxidative coupling of 2,5-dihex- 51 -ynylpyridine received much attention. In the attempts to obtain a 1,4-bridged pyridine, two tricyclic compounds, each containing two quaternised pyridine rings linked by polymethylene chains, were obtained.

To investigate the migration and release behavior of the monomers from melamine-based food contact materials into food simulants and food stuffs, cooking spoons were tested under so-called hot plate conditions at 100 ◦C. Release conditions using the real hot plate conditions with 3% acetic acid were compared with conditions in a conventional migration oven and with a release to deionized water. Furthermore, the kinetics of the release were studied using Arrhenius plots giving an activation energy for the release of melamine of 120 kJ/mol. Finally, a correlation between quality of the resins, specifically the kind of bridges between the monomers, and the release of melamine, was confirmed by CP/MAS 13C-NMR measurements of the melamine kitchenware. Obviously, the ratio of methylene bridges and dimethylene ether bridges connecting the melamine monomers during the curing process can be directly correlated with the amount of the monomers released into food.

  • A Complete Guide to Benzene
    A Complete Guide to Benzene Benzene is an important organic chemical compound with the chemical formula C6H6. The benzene molecule is composed of six carbon atoms joined in a ring with one hydrogen atom attached to each. As it contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms, benzene is classed as a hydrocarbon. Benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil and is one of the elementary petrochemicals. Due to the cyclic continuous pi bond between the carbon atoms, benzene is classed as an aromatic hydrocarbon, the second [n]- annulene ([6]-annulene). It is sometimes abbreviated Ph–H. Benzene is a colourless and highly flammable liquid with a sweet smell. Source: Wikipedia Protecting people and the environment Protecting both people and the environment whilst meeting the operational needs of your business is very important and, if you have operations in the UK you will be well aware of the requirements of the CoSHH Regulations1 and likewise the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in the US2. Similar legislation exists worldwide, the common theme being an onus on hazard identification, risk assessment and the provision of appropriate control measures (bearing in mind the hierarchy of controls) as well as health surveillance in most cases. And whilst toxic gasses such as hydrogen sulphide and carbon monoxide are a major concern because they pose an immediate (acute) danger to life, long term exposure to relatively low level concentrations of other gasses or vapours such as volatile organic compounds (VOC) are of equal importance because of the chronic illnesses that can result from that ongoing exposure. Benzene, a common VOC Organic means the chemistry of carbon based compounds, which are substances that results from a combination of two or more different chemical elements.

  • Safeguards Benzopyrene Contamination in Korean
    SAFEGUARDS SGS CONSUMER TESTING SERVICES FOOD NO. 187/12 NOV 2012 BENZOPYRENE CONTAMINATION IN KOREAN INSTANT NOODLE On 25 Oct 2012, Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) recalled six instant noodle products from the nation’s largest ramen maker in South Korea because these products were found to be tainted with benzo(a) pyrene, which is a known carcinogen.1 Several countries, including Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan and China, have been alerted to this and as a precaution, have removed these products from their shelves. Benzo(a)pyrene belongs to the group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Most PAHs derive from incomplete burning of carbon containing materials such as petroleum fuels, wood, and garbage. The occurrence of PAHs in foods is mainly caused by environmental contamination (water, air and soil), food processing (direct drying and heating), and packaging materials. PAHs have been found in different food products, such as dairy products, vegetables, fruits, oil, coffee, tea, cereals, smoked meat, seafood products, ingredients for food formulation, seasoning, and instant noodles. announcement of the test results and the recall order because the levels of In June, the KFDA conducted tests on benzopyrene found in the noodle products in June were minuscule and not harmful, 30 instant noodle products sold in the South Korean agency reported.

DeWitt Catalytic cracking of paraffinic hydrocarbons is a widely utilized industrial process, but catalyst deactivation over time requires regeneration or replacement of the catalyst bed. A gaseous hydrogen co-feed can be used to promote hydrocracking and decrease deactivation of the catalyst due to coke formation or active site poisoning. One potential alternative approach to extend the lifetime of a cracking catalyst is to generate molecular hydrogen in-situ via catalytic dehydrogenation of a cycloparaffin.
