n-Hexane metabolism in occupationally exposed workers.
Lung uptake and excretion of n-hexane were studied in ten workers in a shoe factory. Simultaneous samples of inhaled and alveolar air were collected with the aid of a Rhan-Otis valve, personal samplers, and charcoal tubes. Alveolar excretion was monitored during a six hour postexposure period. Uptake was calculated from lung ventilation, the retention coefficient, and environmental concentratio...
متن کاملORGANOPHOSPHATE-INDUCED CHRONIC TOXICITY IN OCCUPATIONALLY EXPOSED WORKERS
Organophosphate chronic toxicity has been evaluated in this study. Biological screening for organophosphate insecticide-exposed workers is mostly recommended for mixers, loaders, formulators and spraymen. We have studied 17 occupationally exposed persons to pesticides. Using Ellman's colorimetric method, their plasma cholinesterase activities have been measured. Results show that the appear...
متن کاملHormonal Perturbations in Occupationally Exposed Nickel Workers
BACKGROUND Nickel exposure is recognized as an endocrine disruptor because of its adverse effects on reproduction. AIM This study was designed to investigate the possible testiculo-hormonal perturbations on workers occupationally exposed to nickel and to assess its effects on human male sexual function. METHODS Cross-sectional comparative study, comprising 105 electroplating male non-smoker...
متن کاملUrinary excretion of hydroxyproline in workers occupationally exposed to vibration.
Urinary hydroxyproline excretion was measured in 130 chain saw operators aged 28-59 and in 31 normal control subjects aged 26-59 with no occupational exposure to vibration. The results measured were expressed as a ratio of hydroxyproline to creatinine. (1) No significant correlation between hydroxyproline/creatinine ratio and age was observed among normal subjects. (2) In chain saw operators gr...
متن کاملFurther evidence of human silica nephrotoxicity in occupationally exposed workers.
It has previously been shown that granite workers with heavy exposure to silica had glomerular and proximal tubular dysfunction evidenced by increased urinary excretions of albumin, alpha-1-microglobulin (AMG), and beta-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (NAG). The investigation was replicated in another group of granite workers to further elucidate the exposure effect relation. The urinary excretion of ...
