Pentachlorophenol - Environmental Health Criteria 71
(1987)
Pure pentachlorophenol (PCP) consists of light tan to white, needlelike crystals and is relatively volatile. It is soluble in most organic solvents, but practically insoluble in water at the slightly acidic pH generated ...
Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids - Environmental Health Criteria 80
(1988)
This document is aimed at focusing on a health menace that is insufficiently recognized, in order to evaluate the health risks on the basis of published data, and to draft a set of recommendations that would help in its ...
Vanadium - Environmental Health Criteria 81
(1988)
?letaliic vanadium does not occur in nature. Over 70 vanadium minerals are known, carnatite and vanadinite being the most important from the point of view of mining. Production of vanadium is linked with that of other ...
Dichlorvos - Environmental Health Criteria 79
(1989)
Dichlorvos, an organophosphate, is a direct-acting cholinesterase (ChE)l inhibitor. Since 1961, it has been commercially manufactured
and used throughout the world as a contact and stomach insecticide. It is used to protect ...
Cypermethrin - Environmental Health Criteria 82
(1989)
Cypermethrin was initially synthesized in 1974 and first marketed in 1977 as a highly active synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, effective against a wide range of pests in agriculture, public health, and animal husbandry. ...
Formaldehyde - Environmental Health Criteria 89
(1989)
Formaldehyde is a flammable, colourless and readily polymerized gas at ambient temperatures. The most common commercially available form is a 30-50% aqueous solution. Formaldehyde is readily soluble in water, alcohols, and ...
2, 4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D) - Environmental Health Criteria 29
(1984)
All exposure determinations and risk assessments ultimately depend on accurate chemical analyses, and therefore some critical aspects of analysis for 2,4-D residues have been included in the present document. The available ...
Guide to Short-Term Tests for Detecting Mutagenic and Carcinogenic Chemicals - Environmental Health Criteria 51
(1985)
This document represents the views of ICPFMC and is published by IPCS in an attempt to stimulate scientific discussion, as well as to provide guidance on the use of genotoxicity tests in chemical safety programmes. Although ...
Principles for Evaluating Health Risks to Progeny Associated with Exposure to Chemicals during Pregnancy - Environmental Health Criteria 30
(1984)
This document is intended to aid in the design and assessment of studies concerned with exploring the association between exposure to chemicals during pregnancy and defective development. This document includes a description ...
Evaluation of Short-Term Tests for Carcinogens: Report of the International Programme on Chemical Safety's Collaborative Study on in Vitro Assays - Progress in Mutation Research Volume 5
(1985)
The collaborative study on in vitro assays forms part of a large collaborative study on short-term tests for genotoxicity and carcinogenicity which is one of the most extensive international cooperative attempts to clarify ...
