Neurotoxic effects of methylene chloride: are they long lasting in humans?
The neurotoxicity of methylene chloride (MC) is of special interest because of its acute effects on the central nervous system (CNS) and its metabolic conversion to carbon monoxide. A cohort study of retired airline mechanics was conducted to examine the hypothesis that long term exposure to MC results in lasting effects on the CNS. Retirees were studied to eliminate effects of current occupati...
متن کاملAre the Effects of Response Inhibition on Gambling Long-Lasting?
A recent study has shown that short-term training in response inhibition can make people more cautious for up to two hours when making decisions. However, the longevity of such training effects is unclear. In this study we tested whether training in the stop-signal paradigm reduces risky gambling when the training and gambling task are separated by 24 hours. Two independent experiments revealed...
متن کاملLong-Lasting Effects of Undernutrition
Undernutrition is one of the most important public health problems, affecting more than 900 million individuals around the World. It is responsible for the highest mortality rate in children and has long-lasting physiologic effects, including an increased susceptibility to fat accumulation mostly in the central region of the body, lower fat oxidation, lower resting and postprandial energy expen...
متن کاملMeasurement of methylene chloride.
I read with great interest the paper ‘Characteristics of peaks of inhalation exposure to organic solvents’ (Preller et al., 2004). I noticed that the authors used the MiniRAE Plus Professional Photoionization Detector (PID) (RAE Systems USA) to measure the total organic solvents exposure. My company, Shawcity Ltd, has represented RAE Systems in the UK for 10 years, and we are therefore very fam...
متن کاملFate and effects of methylene chloride in activated sludge.
Activated sludge obtained from a municipal wastewater treatment plant was acclimated to methylene chloride at concentrations between 1 and 100 mg/liter by continuous exposure to the compound for 9 to 11 days. Acclimated cultures were shown to mineralize methylene chloride to carbon dioxide and chloride. Rates of methylene chloride degradation were 0.14, 2.3, and 7.4 mg of CH2Cl2 consumed per h ...
