Camphechlor - Environmental Health Criteria 45
(1984)
Camphechlor (toxaphene) (C10H10CI approx.) is an amber, waxy solid consisting of a complex mixture of poly-chlorinated bicyclic terpenes. Gas chromatography with electron capture detection is the method of choice for the ...
Toluene Diisocyanates - Environmental Health Criteria 75
(1987)
Toluene diisocyanates (TDIs) are synthetic organic chemicals of low relative molecular mass (174.17). They are colourless to pale yellow liquids, at room temperature, with a distinct pungent odour detectable around 0.7 ...
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 ...
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. ...
Fluorine and Fluorides - Environmental Health Criteria 36
(1984)
The terms 'fluorine" and 'fluoride' are used interchangeably in the literature as generic terms. In this document, the terminology suggested by US NAS (1971) is followed: "This document, rather than following common usage, ...
