We present very high-level ab initio computations on the HNCO + H2O reaction, with results targeting the CCSDT(Q)/CBS//CCSD(T)/cc-pVQZ level of theory. The detection limit of MDI with UV detection was 0.50.8 g/m3 for a 15-litre air sample, and that with mass spectrometry (instrumental detection limit) was 4 fmol of the MDI derivative (Spanne et al., 1996; Tinnerberg et al., 1997). Journal of allergy and clinical immunology, 92(3):387396. En estas condiciones tambin se forma MDA a partir del MDI conjugado. An oligourea was synthesized from 4,4-MDI and 4,4-MDA and shown to be mainly diurea. The Ontario Ministry of Labour, Canada, assessed the cause of multiple respiratory complaints among workers at a plant that manufactures automotive instrument panels using polyurethane (Liss et al., 1996). Scheme 5 Model reaction between pyromellitic anhydride and polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate in a 1: 19 weight ratio. When MDI comes into contact with water, it does not disperse readily, but forms globules or solid masses, which react at their surface. Unless otherwise stated, CICADs are based on a search of the scientific literature to the date shown in the executive summary. If opinions contrary to the provisional OEL are filed with the Committee and deemed valid, the Committee then proceeds to reexamine the provisional OEL and the documentation (Sakurai, 1997). Because of their reactivity and versatility of combining with an wide array of curatives and chain extenders . Later, most workers who developed new symptoms were mostly exposed to heated boards. If in a solution 4,4'-Diphenylmethane diisocyanate may or may not burn depending on the nature of the material and/or the solvent. When MDI is released to water, it reacts readily with water to form mixtures of diisocyanates and amines, which then readily react with more MDI to produce inert, solid, insoluble polyurea. (1993) investigated nine subjects who complained of respiratory and general symptoms related to workplace exposure. A new method has recently become available for determining the composition of complex mixtures of airborne isocyanates and related compounds formed during the thermal decomposition of polyurethane by derivatization of isocyanates with dibutylamine. van der Hoeven N, Roza P, Henzen L (1992b) Determination of the LC50 (14 days) of TDI, TDA, MDI, and MDA to the earthworm Eisenia fetida according to OECD Guideline No. Tarlo et al. (1990, 1994a) data set. Estos estudios parecen indicar que la MDA hidrolizable cida del plasma puede ser un biomarcador til de la exposicin prolongada al MDI. Humoral as well as cellular immunity may be involved in the pathogenesis of hypersensitivity due to isocyanates. Chemical research in toxicology, 10:424431. Risks to human health and the environment will vary considerably depending upon the type and extent of exposure. Sa tension de vapeur est infrieure 1 mPA 20 C. Critical data evaluation for MAK values and classification of carcinogens. A hypersensitivity pneumonitis type of reaction has also been reported. DFG (1997) Occupational toxicants. Una vez absorbido, parece estar predominantemente conjugado a protena. Chez un ouvrier expos au PMDI, on a constat que la demi-vie de la MDA acido-hydrolysable tait de 70 80 h dans lurine et de 21 jours dans le srum. . Scandinavian journal of work, environment & health, 20:216222. (1994) and Heimbach et al. The challenge with acetone did not produce any ear swelling. {rTN2AQ"DXATB h1j .$$@H\a30^X2.`A. . El MDI polimrico (PMDI), forma tcnico/comercial primaria del MDI, es en realidad una mezcla que contiene un 25%-80% de 4,4-MDI monomrico, as como oligmeros con 3-6 anillos y otros ismeros secundarios, como el ismero 2,2. Lyon, International Agency for Research on Cancer, pp. The thickness of the ears at 24 h after challenge was compared with that immediately before challenge. Un estudio de exposicin por inhalacin con MDI radiomarcado indica que alguna forma o parte del MDI se distribuye por todo el organismo, sobre todo en los pulmones, los msculos, los riones y el aparato digestivo. Work-related respiratory diseases were reported in the United Kingdom by almost 800 chest and occupational physicians who participated voluntarily in the SWORD project from 1989 to 1992 (Meredith & McDonald, 1994). The accumulation of macrophages and localization of tissue damage in this area suggest that the thoracic effect is due primarily to toxicity to the macrophage, with secondary tissue damage. There was a significant accumulation of macrophages in the lungs and mediastinal lymph nodes of all exposed animals compared with controls. No MDI was found in the water or in the fish after application. Moins de 1 % de la radioactivit a t rcupr dans les principaux organes, mais 23 % de la dose initiale ont t retrouvs dans la carcasse. It is well documented that isocyanates are a cause of occupational asthma (Vandenplas et al., 1993). The Committee accepts opinions based on scientific aspects of the provisional OEL until the next annual general meeting. ISBN 92 4 153027 8 (NLM Classification: QV 280) 1.Isocyanates - toxicity 2.Risk assessment 3.Environmental exposure One worker from group I with asthmatic symptoms exhibited cutaneous reactivity and RAST binding to MDIHSA (25.5%). 82). In vitro, the circulating immune complexes in serum increased after the addition of MDIHSA. They are selected because of their expertise in human and environmental toxicology or because of their experience in the regulation of chemicals. Sa tension de vapeur est infrieure 1 mPa 20 C. The first draft undergoes primary review by IPCS to ensure that it meets the specified criteria for CICADs. En la orina aparecieron pequeas cantidades de MDA libre y acetilada. ISOPA (1998) Submission for the review of the acute inhalation toxicity of MDI. Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate, and Diethylene glycol were utilized for getting the kinetic parameters. 1st Source Research, 617 Hutton St., Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, c ocyanate. Hagmar L, Stroemberg U, Welinder H, Mikoczy Z (1993b) Incidence of cancer and exposure to toluene diisocyanate and methylene diphenyldiisocyanate: a cohort based casereferent study in the polyurethane foam manufacturing industry. En un estudio de un estanque se comprob que es muy poco probable que se produzca acumulacin de MDI a lo largo de la cadena alimentaria acutica, como cabra esperar considerando que tiene una solubilidad muy baja y una elevada reactividad en solucin acuosa. Se observaron trastornos respiratorios graves y una disminucin significativa del aumento del peso corporal en ratas machos y hembras expuestas a un aerosol de PMDI con una concentracin de 13,6 mg/m3 durante seis horas al da, cinco das a la semana, durante un perodo dos semanas, con sntomas mucho menos graves de trastornos respiratorios y slo una ligera reduccin del aumento del peso corporal en ratas machos con 4,9 mg/m3. Sulotto F, Romano C, Piolatto G, Coggiola M, Polizzi S, Ciacco C, Berra A (1990) Short-term respiratory changes in polyurethane foam workers exposed to low MDI concentrations. Isocyanates were suspected as a causal agent of asthma in 336 cases out of 1528 reported for 19891991. This polyurethane is then used in the production of rigid or flexible foams, surface coatings, paints, electrical wire insulation, adhesives, rubbers and fibers. PMDI is the form produced commercially from aniline and formaldehyde using hydrochloric acid as catalyst. Lors dune tude de 2 ans visant valuer la toxicit respiratoire chronique et la cancrognicit du PMDI, des rats exposs des arosols de PMDI des concentrations de 0, 0,19, 0,98 et 6,03 mg/m3, ont prsent des anomalies au niveau des voies respiratoires. It is possible that the reaction products of steam and polymers of MDI, alone or in combination with MDI, may be the causative agents. Experimental results of reaction temperature profile and polyurethane gel viscosity were required to verify the simulation program's reaction parameters. %%EOF Female Wistar rats (80 per exposure group) were exposed (whole body) to MDI in aerosol at 0.23, 0.70, or 2.05 mg/m3 (MMAD about 1 m) for 17 h per day, 5 days per week, for up to 24 months. The CICAD Final Review Board has several important functions: to ensure that each CICAD has been subjected to an appropriate and thorough peer review; to verify that the peer reviewers comments have been addressed appropriately; to provide guidance to those responsible for the preparation of CICADs on how to resolve any remaining issues if, in the opinion of the Board, the author has not adequately addressed all comments of the reviewers; and. The stability of MDI in a model and a real-test environment was studied (Seel et al., 1999).

Methylene diphenyl diisocyanates (MDIs) are essential building blocks in the production of polyurethanes, urethane-prepolymers, and polyisocyanurate polymers in many industries. Methylene di-p-phenyl diisocyanate,flakes; 4,4'-Diphenylmethane Diisocyanate; PMDI. Therefore, it is difficult to quantitatively estimate risk from human exposure. The specific humoral immune response can be IgE as well as IgG mediated, but many patients with sensitization to isocyanates have no demonstrative serum antibodies against the isocyanates. A lock (LockA locked padlock) or https:// means youve safely connected to the .gov website. Therefore, the second part of this overview summarizes the most relevant diisocyanate reactions and provides some insight into their toxicological implications. In an unpublished pharmacokinetic study (Istin, 1977), nose-only exposure of male Sprague-Dawley rats to an aerosol (particle sizes less than 5 m) of radiolabelled (in the methylene group) monomeric MDI for 15 min resulted in the distribution of radioactivity, predominantly to the lungs and a variety of extrarespiratory sites (principally muscle, liver, kidneys, and the digestive tract), after 96 h when the animals were sacrificed. This may take some time to load. Le MDI polymris (PMDI), qui est la forme technique et commerciale principale de ce compos est en fait un mlange contenant 25 80 % de 4,4-MDI monomre et des oligomres 3-6 cycles plus quelques isomres comme lisomre 2,2.

There is clear evidence of skin sensitization due to MDI. Heimbach F, Jaeger K, Sporenberg W (1996) Fate and biological effects of polymeric MDI in small artificial ponds. Aerosol inhalation. En casi todos los estudios se identifica MDA libre y acetilada despus de mantener unas condiciones muy hidrolizantes. The investigators discussed the possibility that there may be selection bias, because the study group did not include any subject with symptoms suggesting hypersensitivity to isocyanate; those who were experiencing adverse effects may have been included in the small numbers of subjects who had left and been lost to follow-up. Wuppeltal, Bayer AG, Institute for Toxicology. Mine workers were exposed to "rock glue" composed of MDI (component A) and a mixture of polyether/polyol blend and tertiary amine catalyst (component B). 2. Herbold B, Haas P, Seel K, Walber U (1998) Studies on the effect of the solvents dimethylsulfoxide and ethyleneglycoldimethylether on the mutagenicity of four types of diisocyanates in the Salmonella/microsome test. To help minimize potential risks, users generally add the waste MDI slowly or in increments, under mechanical stirring, to the solution, which . Journal of cellular plastics, 24:178192. Fetal body weights were comparable in all groups, and no external treatment-related abnormalities were observed in the fetuses. (1982) followed 107 polyurethane manufacturing workers exposed to TDI alone (17), MDI alone (25), or both (6) prospectively for 5 years. lPT RLgNP=ACa0+4"H?N-6]6 @ X[2 Le dpouillement bibliographique a t poursuivi jusqu novembre 1998 laide du systme MEDLINE, la recherche de toute information nouvelle susceptible dtre utile lvaluation. Symptoms compatible with occupational asthma were elicited from seven workers of group I, whereas none was found in group III. The low prevalence of occupational asthma and antibody-dependent sensitization to diphenylmethane diisocyanate in a plant engineered for minimal exposure to diisocyanates. A chronic inhalation study (Hoymann et al., 1995, 1997) has also been conducted with 99.5% pure monomeric 4,4-MDI. Three uncertainty factors are applied to the BMC10 (HEC) 10 for intraindividual variation (including the possibility of genetic predisposition), 101/2 for the lack of reproductive data, and 101/2 for interspecies variation to derive a human TC of 6 104 mg/m3.
