An accidental exposure to blood or other potentially infectious material (OPIM) such as cerebrospinal or pleural fluid can be a life changing experience. Among the bloodborne and OPIM pathogens are HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) exists for HBV and HIV, but not for HCV, which is the most common ...

The interpretation of binassay data in terms of the quantity of radioisotopes in the body is dependent upon the knowledge of the excretion rate of the substance by the human following acute adinistration. Other cases including chronic uptake and lung deposition may be evaluated from the acute case if other physical parameters are known. At the present time, one ...
Extensive data are available on nerve agents as they relate to low dose toxicity. Highly sensitive in vitro and in vivo mutagenicity and clastogenicity screens as well as subchronic toxicity studies in various animal models have been carried out. The majority of such closely controlled toxicological studies in the United States have been conducted at the National Center for Toxicological Research ...
The damage to 13 workers following accidental exposures was assessed from lymphocyte chromosomal aberrations, and the results compared with those supplied by physical dosimetry and the clinical syndromes. (FR)
Three men were accidentally exposed to high levels of ultrahigh frequency radiofrequency radiation (785 MHz mean frequency) while working on a television mast. They experienced an immediate sensation of intense heating of the parts of the body in the electromagnetic field followed by a variety of symptoms and signs which included pain, headache, numbness, and parasthesiae, ...

Assessment of occupational or environmental exposure to uranium compounds is largely based on urinalysis. However, urine samples generally reflect either recent exposure (within a few days after an incident) or chronic exposure and, furthermore, diurnal fluctuations in "spot samples" make it difficult to estimate ...
The clinical signs and postmortem findings in sheep from two flocks accidentally poisoned with monensin are described. Clinical signs began within 24 hours of exposure to monensin. In the acute stages they consisted of lethargy, stiffness, muscular weakness, a stilted gait and recumbency. Feed refusal was seen in one flock but not in the second. Subacute ...

Because mercury has several forms and because it produces subtle effects at chronic low-level exposures, mercury toxicity can be a difficult diagnosis to establish. Elemental mercury vapor accounts for most occupational and many accidental exposures. The main source of organic methyl mercury ...
Exposure to cyanide can occur in a variety of ways, including exposure to smoke from cigarettes or fires, accidental exposure during industrial processes, and exposure from the use of cyanide as a poison or chemical warfare agent. Confirmation of cyanide exposure is ...
Much of the information on the health effects of radiation exposure available to date comes from long-term studies of the atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Accidental exposures, such as those resulting from the Chernobyl and Kyshtym accidents, have as yet provided little information concerning health effects of ionizing ...
Thionyl-chloride (TCl) is used in the manufacture of lithium batteries, producing SO2 and HCl fumes on contact with water. We report two cases of accidental TCl exposure resulting in lung injury that may vary from a relatively mild and reversible interstitial lung disease to a severe form of bronchiolitis obliterans causing, after a latent period, an ...
The ubiquitous use of sodium azide has resulted in widespread occupational exposure to it in both laboratory and industrial settings, despite a lack of knowledge of the risks which may be involved. Explosive, toxic, and mutagenic hazards have been shown at even low-dose exposures. These effects occur in many species, from cellular damage through pathology ...
The methodology for analysis of exposures to mixtures of materials accidentally released from DOE facilities was approved by SCAPA in April 1996. An action item from that meeting was to provide examples as to how this methodology would be applied to speci...
Following an accidental human exposure to a vesicating agent, plasma samples were analyzed for specific biomarkers of sulfur mustard. One individual suffered chemical burns over 6.5% of the body surface area and required hospitalization; the second indivi...
There are certain concerns regarding the safety for the environment and human health from the use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) which leads to unintended exposures, as opposed to the use of ENPs for medical purposes. This review focuses on the unintended human exposure of ENPs. In particular, possible effects in the brain are discussed and an attempt ...

Silicosis, a fibrotic granulomatous lung disease, may occur through accidental high-dose or occupational inhalation of silica, leading to acute/accelerated and chronic silicosis, respectively. While chronic silicosis has a long asymptomatic latency, lung inflammation and apoptosis are hallmarks of acute silicosis. In animal models, ...
Health effects literature primarily related to inhalation exposures to ammonia was collected, evaluated, tabulated, and summarized. Approximately 200 documents were collected from computerized and manual literature searches covering the period 1886-1981.

Cadmium is a highly toxic element that is cumulative and has a long biological half-life in mammals. The severe toxicity of cadmium in man has been known for more than 100 years. Despite the knowledge that cadmium is toxic, only 20 human cases of poisoning via ingestion were recorded prior to 1941, whereas in the ensuing five-year period more than 680 cases of cadmium poisonings from ...
