Environmental health aspects of fungicides. I. Dithiocarbamtes.

A variety of dithiocarbamate fungicides, as well as their principal trace impurities, and metabolic or chemical degradation products are reviewed. Major focus is on their chemical and toxicological features (primarily carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic), use patterns, and residues. The compounds discussed include (1) ethylene bis(dithiocarbamated) (maneb, zineb, nabam), (2) dithiocarbamates (febram, ziram), and ("3) thiuram disulfate (thiram) and ethylene thiourea.

Environmental metallic carcinogens: an overview of exposure levels.

Exposure levels of the principal carcinogenic and potential carcinogenic metal and mettalloid pollutants in the environment (e.g., arsenic, beryllium, chromium, nickel, cadmium, and lead) are primarily reviewed with emphasis on their environmental sources both natural and manmade. There is a general paucity of definitive information concerning aspects of material balance and chemical transformations of these elements in various chemical forms in the environment, primarily the atmosphere. Estimates of both exposure levels and risk to populations other than industrial workers of the above metals have been in most instances quite difficult to obtain and generally speculative. The trend for the immediate future appears to be of greater exposure to these metals not only as a result of generally increased usage patterns, but also because of prospective enhanced use of fossil fuels for space heating and electricity generation.

Potential hazards of fumigant residues.

A spectrum of fumigants (primarily ethylene dibromide, 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane, ethylene oxide, symdibromotetetrachloroethane, 1,3-dichloropropene, dichlorovos, carbon tetrachloride, methyl bromide) as well as their degradation products in foodstuffs and soil have been examined mainly in regard to the potential mutagenicity of their residues.

Analysis of insecticide synergists.

The utility of a variety of chromatographic procedures (GLC, TLC, and GLC/MS) has been described for the determination of a variety of methylene dioxyphenyl insecticide synergists. Particular focus was placed on chromatographic aspects of the principal synergist, piperonyl butoxide, in relation to its trace impurities, determination in formulations, metabolism, residues, and stability.
