Occupational exposures to isocyanates can lead to occupational asthma. Once sensitized, some workers could react to isocyanate monomers at concentrations below 1% of the Permissible Exposure Limit of 5 ppb in air. Currently available methods are not sufficiently sensitive to

Restricted Hartree-Fock and density function calculations (B3LYP), using 6-311++G(d,p), have been used to investigate the far infrared spectra of aromatic urethanes, synthesized on the basis of 2,4-and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate (2,4-TDI, 2,6-TDI), and the spectrum of ethylphenylurethane. It is shown, that

A new sampling system is presented that uses solid sorbent media contained in a tube for the determination of airborne isocyanates (2.4-2.6 toluene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, and 4.4' diaminodiphenylmethane diisocyanate). The method is compared with the National Institute for Occupational

During our ongoing studies of the reactions of toluene diisocyanate (2,4- and 2,6-diisocyanatotoluene, TDI) in vivo, it became apparent that reactive form(s) of these diisocyanates reach(es) the circulatory system after passage through the respiratory system. Based on recent work by

The study validated the use of urinary toluene diamine (TDA) in postshift samples as an indicator of preceding 8-h exposure to toluene diisocyanate (TDI). Nine workers exposed in TDI-based polyurethane foam production were studied. Their exposure levels varied in 8-h
