Public health implications

Many critical data needs were identified by the Expert Panel in its series of reports. Human data is quite hmited, and exposure data is not nearly as robust as is [Pg.565]

The public health implications of dietary phytoestrogens have received a great deal of attention over the last few years. However, despite substantial data from epidemiological and experimental studies, the biological effects of phytoestrogens remain equivocal. [Pg.71]

The guiding principle for responding to severe release or explosion threats is one of due diligence—or What is a suitable and sensible response to a threat As discussed above, some response to chemical contamination threats is warranted due to the public health implications of an actual contamination incident. However, a chemical facility could spend a lot of time and money overresponding to every threat, which would be an ineffective use of resources. Furthermore, overresponse to threats carries its own adverse impacts. [Pg.101]

The collection of physical evidence is not generally considered time sensitive however, site characterization and sampling activities are time sensitive due to the public health implications of contaminated environmental media air, water, and/or soil. Thus, collection of environmental media samples may precede collection of physical evidence, and care must be taken not to disturb the crime scene while performing these activities. If samples can be collected outside of the boundaries of the suspected crime scene, this may avoid concerns about the integrity of the crime scene. [Pg.113]

The saxitoxins from dinoflagellates of the genus Protogonyaulax may accumulate in shellfish and, being potent neurotoxins, pose a serious threat to public health. Six of the saxitoxins are sulfamates which have relatively low toxicity, but are easily hydrolyzed to the respective carbamates with corresponding increases in potency. This paper presents some of the chemistry and public health implications of these toxins. [Pg.113]

Elemental mercury is used industrially in electric lamps and switches, gauges and controls (e.g. thermometers, barometers, thermostats), battery production, nuclear weapons production, and the specialty chemical industry, including the production of caustic soda. Because elemental mercury has a high affinity for gold and silver, it has been, and continues to be, used in precious metal extraction from ore. Elemental mercury has been used for over one hundred years in mercury-silver amalgam preparations to repair dental caries. Mercury continues to be used in folk remedies and in certain cultural practices, with unknown public health implications. [Pg.101]

Additional possible public health implications of the concepts presented in this paper will be published as they come to light. [Pg.105]

The committee acknowledges that there has been substantial research developing biomarkers further along the exposure-effect continuum, including prominent work by Gan et al. (2004) Hecht (2003) Joseph et al. (2005) Kensler et al. (2005) Qian et al. (1994) Rappaport et al. (2005) and Yu et al. (1995). The ultimate objective of the biomonitoring research is to link biomarkers of exposure to biomarkers of effect and susceptibility to understand the public-health implications of exposure to environmental chemicals. [Pg.48]

If a completed or potentially completed exposure pathway is identified, then the extent of exposure and public health implications are further evaluated. [Pg.729]

Where estimated levels of exposure in soil fall in the range of greater than 50 ppt to less than 1 part per billion (ppb) TEQs (Table 1), a weight-of-evidence approach is recommended to evaluate the exposure and the public health implications of the exposure. [Pg.729]
