These effects may be exacerbated with concurrent exposure to alcohol. Acute neurotoxic effects probably are due to carbon disulfide, a metabolite of zineb. Animal studies indicate that changes in the thyroid may occur following a single, large dose, but that these changes may be reversible.

Both the hquid and cured 2-cyanoacryhc esters support combustion. These adhesives should not be used near sparks, heat, or open flame, or ia areas of acute fire ha2ard. Highly exothermic polymerization can occur from direct addition of catalytic substances such as water, alcohols, and bases such as amines, ammonia, or caustics, or from contamination with any of the available surface activator solutions. 

Toxicity studies on trifluoroethanol show acute oral LD q, 240 mg/kg acute dermal LD q, 1680 mg/kg and acute inhalation L(ct) Q, 4600 ppmh. Long-term subchronic inhalation exposure to 50—150 ppm of the alcohol has caused testicular depression in male rats, but no effects were noted at the 10 ppm level (32). Although the significance of the latter observations for human safety is unknown, it is recommended that continuous exposure to greater than 5 ppm or skin contact with it be avoided. 

Acute oral LD q data for nitro alcohols in mice are given in Table 1. Because of their low volatiHty, the nitro alcohols present no vapor inhalation ha2ard. They are nonirritating to the skin and, except for 2-nitro-1-butanol, are nonirritating when introduced as a 1 wt % aqueous solution in the eye of a rabbit. When 0.1 mL of 1 wt % commercial-grade 2-nitro-1-butanol in water is introduced into the eyes of rabbits, severe and permanent corneal scarring results. This anomalous behavior may be caused by the presence of a nitro-olefin impurity in the unpurifted commercial product. 

Toxicity. Sugar alcohols are classified as relatively harmless. Acute oral toxicity values in mice for mannitol and sorbitol (5) are given in Table 4. The acute oral LD q value for xyUtol in mice is 25.7 g/kg (205). Ingestion of 10 g/d of either mannitol or sorbitol by a normal human subject for one month resulted in no untoward effects (206). XyUtol given to healthy humans for 21 d in increasing doses up to 75 g/d produced no adverse effects (207). The limiting dose of xyUtol for production of diarrhea in humans is 20—30 g (4), but tolerance usually develops on continued adrninistration (207). 

Human sensitization studies were negative at 10% solution (47). Undiluted benzyl alcohol produces moderate dermal irritation in guinea pigs and mild dermal irritation in rabbits (48,49). Severe eye irritation was noted in a rabbit study (50). Acute oral rat LD q values were reported between 1.23 and 3.10 g/kg (50—52). A dermal rabbit LD q value of 2.0 g/kg has been reported (49). Rats died after 2 h when exposed to a 200-ppm vapor concentration (53). Benzyl alcohol is readily oxidized in animals and humans to benzoic acid [65-85-0] which is then conjugated with glycine [56-40-6], and rapidly eliminated in the urine as hippuric acid [495-69-2] (54). 

Because alcohol intoxication may be simulated by many pathologic conditions, including diabetic acidosis, the postconvulsive depression of epilepsy, uremia, head injuries, and poisonings by any other central nervous depressant and some stimulants (280), a diagnosis of acute alcoholism should not be made casually chemical testing of blood, urine, or expired air is always desirable.

Organic solvents have acute narcotic effects. Aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons seem to be especially effective. As stated, the combined effect of several organic solvents is usually considered to be additive. However, there is some evidence that the combined effect may in fact be synergistic. The symptoms caused by organic solvents, often called prenarcotic symptoms, resemble those caused by the use of alcohol. A decrease in reaction time and impairment in various psychological performances can be observed. Acute neurotoxicity can also be detected as abnormalities in the electroencephalogram (EEG i, which records the electrical activity of the brain. " ... 

The empirical rule described above for the enantiofacial differentiation in AE of primary allylic alcohols also applies to secondary allylic alcohols. The new aspect that needs to be taken into consideration in this case is the steric hindrance arising from the presence of a substituent (R4) at the carbon bearing the hydroxy group (Figure 6.3). This substituent will interfere in the process of oxygen delivery, making the oxidation of one enantiomer much faster than the reaction of the other one. The phenomenon is so acute that in practice kinetic resolution is often achieved (Figure 6.4) [27]. 

These findings were unexpected because previous studies had demonstrated that the y2 subunit is required for potentiation of GABAa receptor function by low concentrations of ethanol [2]. The y2 subunit gene is located within a definitely mapped quantitative trait locus (QTL) for acute alcohol withdrawal on mouse chromosome 11 [1]. Allelic variation was genetically...

Wernicke s syndrome is a serious consequence of alcoholism and thiamine (vitamin Bx) deficiency. Certain characteristic signs of this disease, notably ophtalmoplegia, nystagmus, and ataxia, respond rapidly to the administration of thiamine but to no other-vitamin. Wernicke s syndrome may be accompanied by an acute global confusional state that may also respond to thiamine. Left untreated, Wernicke s syndrome frequently leads to a chronic disorder in which learning and memory are strongly impaired. This so-called Korsakoff s psychosis is characterized by confabulation, and is less likely to be reversible once established. 

Acute acetaminophen poisoning or toxicily can occur after a single 10- to 15-g dose of acetaminophen. Dosses of 20 to 25 g may be fatal. With excessive dosages die liver cells necrose or die Death can occur due to liver failure The risk of liver failure increases in patients who are chronic alcoholics.
