The effect of a single administration of aromatic hydrocarbons (AHCs) on the metabolic activity responsible for the biotransformation of dichloromethane (DCM) to carbon monoxide (CO) was investigated using adult female rats. In rats treated orally with benzene (1.5 ml kg-1), toluene (2.0 ml kg-1) or
The objective of this study was to compare the magnitude of interindividual variability in internal dose for inhalation exposure to single versus multiple chemicals. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic models for adults (AD), neonates (NEO), toddlers (TODD), and pregnant women (PW) were used to
The influence of prior or simultaneous oral administration of benzene, toluene, o-, m-, or p-xylene on the carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) level after a single dose of dichloromethane (DCM) was investigated in male rats. Six hours after administration of DCM, 6.2 mmol/kg, the mean maximum COHb level was
The available data on binary interactions are yet to be considered within the context of mixture risk assessment because of our inability to predict the effect of a third or a fourth chemical in the mixture on the interacting binary pairs. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models
Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) was used to characterize the thermodynamic properties of ionic liquid (IL) 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([HMIM] BF4) in the temperature range from 343.15 K to 373. 15 K. A series of solvents with different chemical natures were used to determine the
Exposure to volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) in drinking water has been linked to a number of adverse health effects including cancer, liver, and kidney damage. However, the large number of potential contaminants and the cost and complexity of existing analytical methods limits the extent to which
OBJECTIVE
A new desorption method was investigated, which does not require toxic organic solvents. Efficient desorption of organic solvents from activated carbon was achieved with an ananionic surfactant solution, focusing on its washing and emulsion action.
METHODS
Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are capable of adsorbing pollutant chemicals. Their adsorptive capacities and adsorbing mechanisms, however, are not fully understood. As-grown CNTs often contain both crystalline and amorphous carbon, and the ratio of carbon types can affect adsorption. In this study, highly
An ion mobility spectrometer array was designed, in order to broaden the detection range of ion mobility spectrometer and improve the accuracy of compound identification. This instrument was based on the combination of ionization sources of 63Ni positive ion mode, 63Ni negative ion mode and
A simple sample pre-treatment method based on solid phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been optimized and validated for the assessment of 15 residual solvents (2-propanol, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, acetone, ethyl acetate, benzene, hexane,
The objective of this study was to predict the inhalation toxicokinetics of chemicals in mixtures using an integrated QSAR-PBPK modelling approach. The approach involved: (1) the determination of partition coefficients as well as V(max) and K(m) based solely on chemical structure for 53 volatile
For a simple analysis of organic solvent vapours in working environmental air, we investigated the following method. First, join the adsorption tube (2 ml of 60--80 mesh silica gel packed in a 5 mm phi x 18 cm glass tube) to hand vacuum pump and suck 200 ml of the sample air. After adsorption, join
The objective of this study was to investigate the usefulness of a physiologically based toxicokinetic (PBTK) modeling framework for simulating the kinetics of chemicals in mixtures of varying complexities and composition. The approach involved the simulation of the kinetics of components in two
Percutaneous absorption is highly variable between chemicals but also within chemicals depending on exposure conditions and experimental set up. We tested a larger number of organic solvents with the same experimental set up, using skin from new-born piglets and static diffusion cells. Thirty-six
