Label representative exposure

The ranking analysis discussed in the remainder of this section used benzene exposure at a nearby residence as a proxy for the risk associated with population exposure to refinery releases. In Table X, the share each option represents of the total benzene exposure reduction achieved by implementing all options is given in the column labeled Benzene exposure reduction. The barge loading option accounts for 55% of the benzene exposure reduction attributable to all options. In cost-effectiveness terms, the cost for a 1% benzene exposure reduction ranges from 9000 for secondary seals to 1.48 million for upgrading the wastewater treatment plant. 

Fig. 4. Percentage of native (N)-HSA in solution after exposure to TO C as ealculated from CD measurements the CD signal (all measured at 25°C) is plotted logarithmically against the effective exposure time. Open squares (labeled) represent measurements that were taken periodically from the lubricant solution during the course of the continuous pin-on-disc friction experiment also shown in Fig. 5. The lubricant samples were diluted at a ratio 1 8 to adjust CD signal levels. The time-normalization procedure is explained in the text. Filled circles stand for CD reference measurements obtained in situ (i.e. measured after exposing to 70°C for the indicated amount of time and subsequent cooling to 25°C). The gray line in the background is to guide the eye.

FIGURE 7.4 (A) Donor CD4+T cell proliferation, as reflected by dilution of the fluorescence associated with CFSE, is not altered by TCDD exposure. Changes in expression ofT cell activation markers (B) CD62L and (C) CD25, are induced by TCDD exposure and are dependent on cell division. Data represent donor CD4+ T cells responding to alloantigen in F1 hosts 48 hours after adoptive transfer. F1 host mice were treated with vehicle or TCDD one day prior to injection of CFSE-labeled donorT cells. Adapted from Funatake et al., 2005. 

High concentrations of radioactivity were observed in body fat and livers of rats, mice, and squirrel monkeys given oral doses of 60 mg/kg " C-labeled chloroform (Brown et al. 1974a). The maximum levels of radioactivity in the blood appeared within 1 hour and were 3 pg equivalents chloroform/mL for mice and 10 pg equivalents chloroform/mL for monkeys, which represented -0.35 and 1%, respectively, of the total radioactivity. In monkeys, bile concentrations peaked within 6 hours. The distribution of radioactively labeled chloroform was studied in three strains of mice (Taylor et al. 1974). No strain-related differences were observed however, higher levels of radioactivity were found in the renal cortex of males and in the liver of females. The renal binding of radioactive metabolites may have been altered by variations in the testosterone levels as a result of hormonal pretreatment in females or castration in males. Sex-linked differences in chloroform distribution were not observed in rats or monkeys (Brown et al. 1974a). Chloroform accumulates in the adipose tissue of rats after oral exposure of intermediate duration (Pfaffenberger et al. 1980). 

For a small number of substances, the preliminary study will provide sufficient data for the purpose of classification and labelling and/or risk assessment. These substances are likely to be those with a clear adverse effect on the fetus at levels representative of typical human exposure scenarios. 

Fig. 10.7. Fraction of labelled mitoses. The solid line represents the theoretical change in the fraction of mitotic cells after labelling for 100 min with tritiated thymidine. The dotted line follows data obtained with mouse L cells. The hatched areas represent the duration of the exposure to tritiated thymidine.

The results5,20,22,26-31 of the Wilzbach labeling of a representative number of heterocyclic compounds are shown in Table I. A significant feature of the data is the relatively high specific activity in the crude product immediately after exposure to tritium gas compared with the ultimate activity in the purified compound. For example, the specific activity of crude benzothiophene (777 pCi/mg) dropped to 155 pCi/mg in the purified compound. Comparable data for N-methylpyrrole and trimethylpyridine were 247, dropping to 110, and 423, dropping to... 

The typical end-use product and application method chosen as representative of the extreme-case exposure scenario must be used to attain the highest permissible rate allowed by label directions. Sampling for indoor residues should consider all potential sites where appreciable residues are expected and are accessible. For instance, dermal contact may come from exposure to the pesticide as a residue on carpets, vinyl tile, upholstery and counter tops, while airborne residue (vapor- or particle-phase) may provide the source of inhalation exposure. The measurements taken are linked specifically to the method of application. 

Separated proteins are detected by use of Coomassie dyes, silver staining, radiography (exposure of photographic film to emissions of isotopicaUy labeled polypeptides), or fluorographic analysis (x-ray film exposed to tritium-labeled polypeptides in the presence of a scintillator). The latter two methods represent the greatest analytical sensitivity, because they are 100 to 1000 times more sensitive than the Coomassie dyes. 

In summary, the terrestrial EECs for three potential avian food items are calculated for I.Qx and 10.0X the maximum labelled application rale (Table 8.5). Although these EECs for dietary exposure represent redundant worst-case scenarios, the worst-case scenario for actual PBO data indicates exposure level 10 to 20 times lower than the levels predicted by Kenaga (Kenaga, 1973), indicating that the estimate of exposure using the latter approach is conservative for PBO.
