چکیده
The labour market, occupational safety and health, and work organisation are our main fields of activity. The creation and use of knowledge through learning, information and documentation are important to the Institute, as is international cooperation. The Institute is collaborating with interested parties in various development projects. The areas in which the Institute is active include: • labour market and labour law, • work organisation, • musculoskeletal disorders, • chemical substances and allergens, noise and electromagnetic fields, • the psychosocial problems and strain-related disorders in modern working life. to write this criteria document concerning ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate. Based on this document the Criteria Group will present a report to be used as the scientific background material by the National Board of Occupational Safety and Health in their proposal for an occupational exposure limit.

Experimental studies on toxicity of ethylene glycol alkyl ethers in Japan.
Past studies on the toxicological effects of ethylene glycol alkyl ethers as well as the recent data on these chemicals in Japan are reviewed. Only a few researchers have participated in the study of ethylene glycol alkyl ethers in Japan. The effects of ethylene glycol alkyl ethers on testis and embryotoxic effects of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGM) have been studied, as has the teratoge...
متن کاملEvaluation of workers exposed to ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate.
OBJECTIVES Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) and ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (EGMEA) are widely used in industries as solvents for coatings, paint and ink, but exposure data are limited because they are minor components out of mixed solvents, as well as because of inconsistency in desorption solvent use. The objective of this study was to investigate the worker exposure profi...
متن کاملDetermination of Icing Inhibitors (Ethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether and Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether) in Ground Water by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry
A gas chromatography/mass spectrometric assay method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of icing inhibitors, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether in ground water contaminated with JP-8. Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether were used as the internal standard and surrogate, respectively. 100 mL of ground water wa...

Further studies on the toxicology of the glycol ethers with emphasis on rapid screening and hazard assessment.
The discovery that ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) could affect the testis and the developing fetus in laboratory animals prompted further work to understand the effect of EGME and to examine additional glycol ethers to see if they showed EGME's reprotoxicity. Propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME) was shown not to cause testicular atrophy or to affect the development of rats at 600 p...
