This monograph focuses on the risks to human health associated with exposure to lead and inorganic lead compounds. Emphasis has been given to data which have become available since the publication of Environmental Health ...

The chemical name for diazinon is O, O-diethyl O-2-isopropyl-6-methylpyrimidinyl-4-yl phosphorothioate. The pure material forms a colourless liquid with a faint ester-like odour. The technical active ingredient is a ...

1,1,1-Trichloroethane is a chlorinated hydrocarbon which is manufactured from vinyl chloride or vinylidene chloride by chlorination. The world production was approximately 680 000 tonnes in 1988. It is a colourless, ...

Ochratoxins are produced by several species of the fungal genera Aspergillus and Penicillium. These fungi are ubiquitous and the potential for the contamination of foodstuffs and animal feed is widespread. Ochratoxin A, ...

Polychlorinated dibenzo—p—dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are two series of tricyclic aromatic compounds with similar chemical and physical properties; they are ubiquitous in the environment. They ...

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 ...

This is a companion volume to Environmental Health Criteria 82: Cypermethrin. The Environmental Health Criteria (EHC) documents produced by the International Programme on Chemical Safety include an assessment of the effects ...
