Health and Safety Factors. Fluorocarbons containing bromine or iodine are more toxic than the corresponding chloro compounds. When the ratio of the fluorine to other halogens is high, the toxicity can be quite low, especially for bromofluorocarbons. Perfluoro-l-bromooctane [423-55-2] has an LD q of greater than 64 mL/kg when adininistered into the gastrointestinal tract, and has Htde effect when instilled into the lungs (49). Other examples are included in Table 7. [Pg.290]

Health, Safety, and Environmental Factors. Sulfur dioxide has only a moderate acute toxicity (183). The lowest pubHshed human lethal concentration is 1000 ppm for 10 months. The lowest pubHshed human toxic concentration by inhalation is 3 ppm for 5 days or 12 ppm for 1 hour. The lowest pubHshed human lethal concentration is 3000 ppm for 5 months. In solution (as sulfurous acid), the lowest pubHshed toxic dose is 500 flg/kg causing gastrointestinal disturbances. Considerable data is available by other modes of exposure and to other species NIOSH standards are a time-weighted average of 2 ppm and a short-term exposure limit of 5 ppm (183). [Pg.147]

Health nd SMety Factors. The lowest pubhshed human oral toxic dose is 430 mg/kg, causing nervous system disturbances and gastrointestinal symptoms. The LD q (rat, oral) is 750 mg/kg (183). Thiocyanates are destroyed readily by soil bacteria and by biological treatment systems in which the organisms become acclimatized to thiocyanate. Pyrolysis products and combustion products can include toxic hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides. [Pg.152]

Swallowing. If it is sufficiently irritant or caustic, a swallowed material may cause local effects on the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, and stomach. Additionally, carcinogenic materials may induce tumor formation in the alimentary tract. Also, the gastrointestinal tract is an important route by which toxic materials are absorbed. The sites of absorption and factors regulating absorption have been reviewed (42,43). [Pg.229]

The precise mechanism of nitrate action is not cleady understood and may be a combination of many factors. The basic pharmacologic action of nitrates is a relaxation of most vascular smooth muscle, eg, vascular, bronchial, gastrointestinal, uretal, uterine, etc. Vascular smooth muscle relaxation is a... [Pg.122]

Appetite control is a complex function of the brain that regulates feeding behaviour. This function integrates cognitive and emotional factors with a complex array of signals from the gastrointestinal tract and from adipose tissue. [Pg.209]

The human histamine Hi-receptor is a 487 amino acid protein that is widely distributed within the body. Histamine potently stimulates smooth muscle contraction via Hi-receptors in blood vessels, airways and in the gastrointestinal tract. In vascular endothelial cells, Hi-receptor activation increases vascular permeability and the synthesis and release of prostacyclin, plateletactivating factor, Von Willebrand factor and nitric oxide thus causing inflammation and the characteristic wheal response observed in the skin. Circulating histamine in the bloodstream (from, e.g. exposure to antigens or allergens) can, via the Hi-receptor, release sufficient nitric oxide from endothelial cells to cause a profound vasodilatation and drop in blood pressure (septic and anaphylactic shock). Activation of... [Pg.589]

Diuretics (see Chap. 46) may be ordered for some patients receiving a cardiotonic drug. Diuretics, as well as odier conditions or factors, such as gastrointestinal suction, diarrhea, and old age, may produce low serum potassium levels (hypokalemia). The primary care provider may order a potassium salt to be given orally or IV. [Pg.364]
