Book Description
The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicology and adverse health effects information for the toxic substance described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a substance's toxicological properties. ATSDR's Toxicological Profile for 1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane was released in 1992. In order to update the literature in this profile, ATSDR conducted a literature search focused on health effects information as described in Appendix B. Chapters 2, 3, and 7 were revised to reflect the most current health effects data. In some cases, other sections of the profile were updated as needed or for consistency with the updated health effects and regulations/guidelines. However, the focus of the update to this profile is on health effects information. The major sources of 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (C3H5Br2Cl; CAS Number 96-12-8) in the environment are from its former use as a soil fumigant (fumes that rid vermin or disinfect) and nematocide (worm killer) on a variety of crops and from unintentional release from hazardous waste sites that contain the chemical. There have been no recent reportable releases of 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane to the air, water, or soil (TRI16 2017) because all registered uses as a pesticide were canceled by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1985. The most likely sources of exposure of the general population to 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane are from drinking water that may have been contaminated in areas where the chemical was used for agricultural purposes or from food sources grown in soil that may still contain residues. However, it is not likely that the general population would be exposed to 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane levels in drinking water or food sources that would be high enough to cause adverse health effects.

Book Description
This report provides information about Chlorodibenzofurans & the human health effects of exposure. These chemicals have been found in many sites identified by the EPA for long-term Federal cleanup activities. The report includes a Public Health Statement which explains toxicologic properties of Chlorodibenzofurans in a nontechnical, Q&A format, & a review of the general health effects observed following exposure; a description of health effects; how the chemicals can affect children; & information on their chemical & physical properties, production, use & disposal, potential for human exposure, analytical methods, & regulations & advisories.

Book Description
This text/reference book provides the most comprehensive coverage of anticholinesterase compounds (Organophosphates and Carbamates), which constitute the largest number of chemicals that are primarily used as insecticides in agriculture, industry, and around the home/garden. Some OPs (nerve agents) have been used in chemical warfare and terrorist attacks, while some OPs and CMs have been recommended as therapeutic agents in human medicine as well as in veterinary medicine. Many chemicals of both classes are extremely toxic and lack selectivity, thus their inadvertent/accidental use continues to pose a threat to human and animal health, aquatic systems and wildlife. These anticholinesterase agents produce a variety of toxicological effects in target and nontarget organs. In light of this complexicity, this multi-authored book is written by the well known scientists from many countries. The book is organized into nine sections, with a total of 49 chapters, to provide in-depth knowledge on various aspects of OP and CM compounds, including their use, classification, mechanism-based toxicity, and prophylactic and therapeutic measurements. Several chapters are written with special emphasis to cover timely topics, such as chemical warfare agents, physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling, structure and function of cholinesterases, paraoxonase, carboxylesterases; developmental neurotoxicity, the intermediate syndrome, oxidative stress, endocrine disruption, and DNA damage/gene expression and carcinogenesis. Section-VI with 5 chapters is specifically devoted to risk assessment, and safety and regulatory guidelines for pesticides. - Describes everything you need to know about Organophosphates and Carbamates - Extensively covers pesticides, nerve agents, therapeutic drugs, and flame retardants - Describes epidemiology of the world's major disasters involving Organophosphates and Carbamates - Covers animal, human, aquatic, and wildlife toxicity of Anticholinesterases - Insights into in-depth cholinergic and noncholinergic mechanisms of toxicity - Describes recent advancements in cholinesterases, paraoxonases, carboxylesterases, oxidative stress, endocrine disruption, cardiac and pulmonary toxicity, and carcinogenesis - Provides in vitro and in vivo models for neurotoxicity testing - Integrates knowledge of studies in lab animals and humans - Offers risk/safety assessment and national/international guidelines for permissible levels of pesticide residues - Describes management of Anticholinesterase poisoning in humans
