Some enviromnental agents are carcinogenic tobacco, coal tar, asbestos, alcohol, some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. X-rays and other sources of radiation, and many natural products. [Pg.350]

Distribution Systems. A substantial amount of contamination of drinking water can occur while the water is in transit to the consumer after treatment. Pipes are made of copper, galvanized iron, asbestos-cement, lead, or plastic, and often polymeric or coal tar coatings are used. All of these are capable of contributing contaminants to the water, especially if the water is corrosive. Lead, copper, cadmium, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in finished water are primarily problems of water distribution and not source water contamination. Physical deterioration of the distribution system can also permit biological contamination to occur during transit. [Pg.674]

Pollutants derived from nonpoint sources run-off from agricultural lands (fertilizers, pesticides, humic materials), run-off from urban areas (salt, poly aromatic hydrocarbons [PAHs], asbestos), atmospheric fallout (particulates containing sulfate, nitrate, heavy metals, PAHs, and chlorinated organics). [Pg.714]

Workers come in contact with a large number of chemical substances in work areas, as does the general public. The commonly found chemical carcinogens are grouped under (1) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), (2) nitroso compounds, (3) halogenated hydrocarbons (solvents e.g., carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, trichloroethylene, and methylene chloride), (4) inorganic metals and minerals (beryllium, cadmium, nickel, cobalt, chromium, asbestos and arsenic), and (5) naturally occurring chemical substances (aflatoxins).

Though only asbestos was specifically named in the study, it can be reasonably anticipated that these workers were also exposed to a large number of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs, and heavy metals. The authors of the study attributed the mesotheliomas to asbestos exposure. The other cancers were not specifically attributed to causative chemicals. I61l... [Pg.533]

Many different types of materials produce lung tumours after inhalation, and also after exposure via the bloodstream. Thus asbestos, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, cigarette smoke, nickel carbonyl, nitrosamines, chromates and arsenic may cause lung tumours after inhalation. Other com-... [Pg.362]

It is clear that chemical pollutants have a serious significance in all aspects of environmental protection requirements. The major chemical pollutants which are known to incur adverse effects to human health and to the environment include sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, heavy metals (eg, mercury, including methylmercury, cadmium, lead, etc.), pesticides, environmental carcinogens, (eg, asbestos, polychlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), etc. [Pg.430]

Lung Ccuicer This disease has many symptoms and multiple pathology. There are several agents of exposure, including chromates, arsenic, asbestos, chloroethers, ionizing radiation, nickel, and polynucletir aromatic hydrocarbon compounds. [Pg.1169]

Haveg 41 NA Is a thermosetting plastic, based on a composition of phenol-formaldahyde resin and inert non-asbestos silicate fillers. It is generally recommended for service with mineral acid, salts and chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons. [Pg.174]

In the Part B of this text several new entries have been inducted. Many compounds are entered in the tables under miscellaneous substances in several chapters. Molybdenum has been added as a subchapter into Metals, Toxic. A number of chapters of the last edition have been fully revised in this edition. Notable among them are, Nerve Gases Dioxin and Related Compounds Metals, Toxic Pesticides, Organochlorine-, Organophosphorus-, Carbamates-, and Chlo-rophenoxy Acids- Amines, Aromatic Isocyanates, Organic Halogenated Hydrocarbons Hydrocarbons, Aromatics Asbestos Nitriles and Nitrosoamines and a number of individual compounds such as Napalm. Practically all the entries of the previous edition have been retained in this edition. All revisions have been updated wherever possible to the year 2006. [Pg.1139]
