Journal ArticleDOI
Skin Exposure to Isocyanates: Reasons for Concern
Dhimiter Bello,Christina A. Herrick,Thomas J. Smith,Susan Woskie,Robert P. Streicher,Mark R. Cullen,Youcheng Liu,Carrie A. Redlich +7 more
TL;DR: Combined animal and human research is needed to better understand the role of skin exposure in human isocyanate asthma and to improve diagnosis and prevention, and sufficient evidence already exists to justify greater emphasis on the potential risks of isOCyanate skin exposure and the importance of preventing such exposures at work and during consumer use of certain isocianates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyisocyanates in Occupational Environments: A Critical Review of Exposure Limits and Metrics
Dhimiter Bello,Susan Woskie,Robert P. Streicher,Youcheng Liu,Meredith H. Stowe,Ellen A. Eisen,Michael J. Ellenbecker,Judy Sparer,F. Youngs,Mark R. Cullen,Carrie A. Redlich +10 more
TL;DR: The total isocyanate group (microg NCO/m(3)) is recommended as the most feasible and practical metric (unit) by which to express polyisocyanates exposures for research, control, and regulatory purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring of Aromatic Amine Exposures in Workers at a Chemical Plant With a Known Bladder Cancer Excess
Elizabeth M. Ward,Gabriele Sabbioni,D. Gayle DeBord,Alexander W. Teass,Kenneth K. Brown,Glenn Talaska,Dennis R. Roberts,Avima M. Ruder,Robert P. Streicher +8 more
TL;DR: The adduct data suggest that, among current workers, o-toluidine exposure substantially exceeds aniline exposure and that 4-ABP exposure, if it occurs at all, is not widespread.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of airborne isocyanate exposure: considerations in method selection.
Robert P. Streicher,Christopher M. Reh,Rosa Key-Schwartz,Paul C. Schlecht,Mary Ellen Cassinelli,Paula Fey O'Connor +5 more
TL;DR: This article presents a summary of method selection criteria based on the isocyanate species, its physical state, particle size, cure rate, and other factors and discusses these factors in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skin exposure to aliphatic polyisocyanates in the auto body repair and refinishing industry: II. A quantitative assessment.
Dhimiter Bello,Carrie A. Redlich,Meredith H. Stowe,Judy Sparer,Susan Woskie,Robert P. Streicher,H. Dean Hosgood,Youcheng Liu,Youcheng Liu +8 more
TL;DR: The colorimetric indicator is a quick, practical and low-cost, but not highly sensitive, industrial hygiene tool to detect isocyanate surface contamination and skin exposures following the use of isOCyanate-containing products.
