    Författare :Carl Johan Sennbro; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; industrial medicine; Occupational health; asthma; protein adducts; polyurethane; biomarkers; occupational exposure; DBA; ICA; NDI; MDI; TDI; Diisocyanates; Isocyanates; Biomonitoring; Air monitoring; arbetsmiljömedicin; Yrkesmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Exposure to isocyanates may induce disorders in the airways of workers. Therefore, application, development and validation of methods for exposure assessment is of great importance. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Biomarkers of aromatic isocyanates in exposed workers

    Författare :Pernilla Lind; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adducts; biomarkers; exposure; occupational; methylenediphenyl diisocyanate; toluene diisocyanate; amines; isocyanates; polyurethane; Gas chromatography; mass spectrometry; Occupational health; industrial medicine; Yrkesmedicin; arbetsmiljömedicin;

    Sammanfattning : The aromatic isocyanates, toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), are used in the production of polyurethane (PUR) foams, paints, elastomers and glues. The use of isocyanates is increasing, and exposure to isocyanates is the most common cause of occupational asthma. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Polyurethane - occupational exposure, biomarkers and symptoms

    Författare :Margareta Littorin; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; spray; polyurethane; nose; metabolites; lung function ; lower airways; inflammation; heat; glue; genetic polymorphism; di isocyanate; Antibodies; biomarkers; Occupational health; industrial medicine; Yrkesmedicin; arbetsmiljömedicin; symptoms;

    Sammanfattning : Isocyanates may cause occupational asthma, rhinitis, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. However, the mechanisms behind initiation of the disorders and the relations between exposure and effect are insufficiently elucidated. Means to biomonitor exposure and risk would be valuable. LÄS MER
