Toxicity of tetramethylammonium hydroxide: review of two fatal cases of dermal exposure and development of an animal model.
To document two cases of patients who were fatally exposed to tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) on the skin and to establish a rat model to investigate the effects of dermal exposure to TMAH. The charts of two workers who died from occupational accidental exposure to TMAH were reviewed. The 4-hour lethal dose (LD₅₀) of TMAH was determined by applying solutions mimicking the two most common i...
متن کاملAbstract: Tetramethylammonium Hydroxide Poison- ing during a Pallet Cleaning Demonstration: Seung-
Tetramethylammonium (TMA) is a well-known ganglion blocker and was first extracted from the sea anemone in 1923. Today, TMA’s hydroxide, tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH), is used as a developer, etchant and polishing agent in the semiconductor manufacturing process, as well as a surfactant to prevent agglomeration. One national survey found that about 20,000 tons of TMAH are being used in K...
متن کاملToxicity of tetramethylammonium hydroxide to aquatic organisms and its synergistic action with potassium iodide.
The aquatic ecotoxicity of chemicals involved in the manufacturing process of thin film transistor liquid crystal displays was assessed with a battery of four selected acute toxicity bioassays. We focused on tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH, CAS No. 75-59-2), a widely utilized etchant. The toxicity of TMAH was low when tested in the 72 h-algal growth inhibition test (Pseudokirchneriellia sub...
متن کاملThe use of tetramethylammonium hydroxide in the Zimmermann reaction.
The use of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (T.M.A.H.) in place of potassium hydroxide in the Zimmermann reaction has been investigated. Although various pure steroids have different colour equivalents, a comparison of the results of 17-ketosteroid and 17-hydroxycorticosteroid estimations on a series of urines showed that the differences for the two reagents were only small and may be ignored. Tet...
متن کاملChemical and structural investigation of high-resolution patterning with HafSO(x).
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) chemical mapping have been used to examine key processing steps that enable sub-20-nm lithographic patterning of the material Hf(OH)4-2x-2y(O2)x(SO4)y·qH2O (HafSOx). Results reveal that blanket films are smooth and chemically homogeneous. Upon exposure with an electron beam, the films b...
