And toxic effects

Safety. Magnesium oxide (fume) has a permissible exposure limit (PEL) (134) (8 hours, TWA), of 10 mg/m total dust and 5 mg/m respirable fraction. Tumorigenic data (intravenous in hamsters) show a TD q of 480 mg/kg after 30 weeks of intermittent dosing (135), and toxicity effects data show a TC q of 400 mg/m for inhalation in humans (136). Magnesium oxide is compatible with most chemicals exceptions are strong acids, bromine pentafluoride, chlorine trifluoride, interhalogens, strong oxidizers, and phosphorous pentachloride.

When adrninistered long-term for the treatment of hypertension, diuretics fulfill the goals of preventing cardiovascular disease and increasing longevity. However, diuretic therapy may produce both side and toxic effects that are significant in certain patient subgroups, eg, diabetics and cardiac patients.

After the critical study and toxic effect have been selected, the USEPA identifies the experimental exposure level representing the highest level tested at which no adverse effects (including the critical toxic effect) were demonstrated. This highest "no-obserx cd-adversc-effcct-lever (NOAEL) is the key datum obtained from the study of the dose-response relationship. A NOAEL obserx ed in an animal study in which the exposure was intermittent (such as five days per week) is adjusted to reflect continuous exposure. 

Antipsychotic medications are indicated in the treatment of acute and chronic psychotic disorders. These include schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and manic states occurring as part of a bipolar disorder or schizoaffective disorder. The co-adminstration of antipsychotic medication with antidepressants has also been shown to increase the remission rate of severe depressive episodes that are accompanied by psychotic symptoms. Antipsychotic medications are frequently used in the management of agitation associated with delirium, dementia, and toxic effects of both prescribed medications (e.g. L-dopa used in Parkinson s disease) and illicit dtugs (e.g. cocaine, amphetamines, andPCP). They are also indicated in the management of tics that result from Gilles de la Tourette s syndrome, and widely used to control the motor and behavioural manifestations of Huntington s disease.

Often, absorption occurs by multiple routes in humans. Dean et al. (1984) reported deaths and toxic effects as well as lowered blood cholinesterase levels and excretion of urinary 4-nitrophenol in several children who were exposed by inhalation, oral, and possibly dermal routes after the spraying of methyl parathion in a house. In the same incident (Dean et al. 1984), absorption was indicated in adults who also excreted 4-nitrophenol in the urine, though at lower levels than some of the children, and in the absence of other evidence of methyl parathion exposure. In this study, the potential for age-related differences in absorption rates could not be assessed because exposure levels were not known and the children may have been more highly exposed than the adults. Health effects from multiple routes are discussed in detail in Section 3.2. 

Most of the toxic effects caused by methyl parathion resulted from exposure by multiple routes, especially for workers in sprayed fields or formulating facilities, or people in homes. Dean et al. (1984) reported deaths and toxic effects in several children as well as lowered blood cholinesterase levels and excretion of urinary 4-nitrophenol (adults showing no adverse effects also excreted 4-nitrophenol). 

Regrettably, all chemotherapeutic agents have the potential to produce adverse reactions with varying degrees of frequency and severity, and these include hypersensitivity reactions and toxic effects. These may be dose-related and predictable in a patient with a history of hypersensitivity or a previous toxic reaction to a drug or its chemical analogues. However, many adverse events are idiosyncratic and therefore unpredictable.

From the above discussion, it is clear that while phenol is essential for the well being and advancement of the humans, it also brings in innumerable hazards and toxic effects, if the concentration limits are exceeded. Therefore, it is essential that the excess amount of phenol is degraded and brought under the permissible limits before it is discharged into the environment. Several such efforts have already been attempted with partial to complete success, which needs a review, before some new effort of this laboratory is discussed at the end of the chapter.
