Toxicology: assessing the hazard.

Some of the fundamentals of toxicology that are used by the toxicologist in assessing the toxic properties of compounds have been discussed. It is easy to see that a large amount of keen professional judgment must enter into the toxicologist's decisions. It is not a job that can be done by an amateur, even though some well meaning lay and political associates may believe they are capable of doing so. The toxicologist's job is not finished when he has determined the toxicological properties of a compound. He then has to assess the hazard of the compound, an infinitely more complex and complicated task. In the end, as stated by Dr. Mrak, "There are no harmless substances, there are only harmless ways of using substances" (quoted in Reference 1, p. 11).

Occupational and environmental health hazards in the plastics industry.

A brief description of the potential occupational health hazards encountered in the manufacture of plastics (polymers) is given. In general, these hazards are due to the monomers used to make the various plastics, to unreacted monomer contained within the finished products, and to the fillers, stabilizers, pigments, inhibitors, and initiators used in fabricating the finished products. They run the gamut from angiosarcomas of the liver due to vinyl chloride, to dermatitis and asthma-like reactions due to the initiators used with epoxy resins.
