The Priority Data Needs documents are intended to characterize substance-specific priority data needs determined via the ATSDR Decision guide for identifying substance-specific data needs related to toxicological profiles (54 Federal Register 37618, September 11, 1989). The identified priority data needs reflect the opinion of the Agency, in consultation with other federal programs, of the rese...

Cresols are widely distributed in the environment and the general population may be exposed to low levels of cresols mainly through the inhalation of contaminated air. Cresols are readily degraded in the atmosphere; atmospheric concentrations outside of source-dominated areas are typically low. Since cresols are released via automobile exhaust, areas of high traffic and gas stations are likely ...

In this study, the viability of soil flushing on the removal of cresols (meta-, ortho-, and para-cresols) from contaminated soil has been investigated. High production and distribution of cresols in the environment indicate their potential for a widespread exposure to humans. The presence of these compounds in soil could cause a significant threat to environment, as they are toxic and refractor...

Urine samples from 14 mares, belonging to five breeds, were collected at estrus and diestrus to search for estrous specific volatile compounds which could be used to determine ovulation time. Around 150 volatiles were collected from urine head-space samples by solid phase micro extraction technique, and analyses were conducted by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry methods. Comparison of chrom...

Enzymatic treatment of o-, m-, and p-chlorophenols and o-, m-, and p-cresols from artificial wastewater was undertaken through the enzymatic conversion into the corresponding phenoxy radicals with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and nonenzymatic radical coupling reaction. The concentration of chlorophenols and cresols decreased sharply over the reaction time and water-insoluble oligomer precipitat...

The electrooxidation of aqueous solutions containing 5mM of o-, m- and p-cresol at pH 4.0 has been investigated using a flow filter-press reactor with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) under galvanostatic electrolysis. All cresols are degraded at similar rate up to attaining overall mineralization. Comparable treatment of the m-cresol effluent on PbO(2) leads to partial electrochemical incineration. ...
