Subsequently, the hazard categories are entered into the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) occupational exposure banding tool to assign bands for individual end points as well as an overall OEB. As a proof-of-concept, five compounds with established OELs (i.e., \"knowns\") were evaluated. The knowns were assigned to overall OEBs C, D, or E, four of which were equal to or lower than the OEBs based on actual harmonized GHS categories as well as established OELs, indicating that the OEBs assigned using this framework are likely to be protective. Subsequently, five compounds with little to no experimental data and no established OELs from any U.S. agency or consensus OEL-setting organizations were evaluated (i.e., \"unknowns\"). The unknowns were assigned to overall OEBs D or E. It was concluded that the proposed framework can be used to assign protective OEBs to compounds with little to no toxicology testing data. As additional data become available, the compound may be de-risked, and a precautionary OEB (or an OEL) can be assigned. The proposed framework provides an example of a practical methodology to evaluate data poor compounds and shows that the output of this framework is expected to be protective of worker health.</p>","PeriodicalId":23171,"journal":{"name":"Toxicology and Industrial Health","volume":" ","pages":"20-31"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142381703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because occupational asbestos exposures dropped dramatically in the late 1960s and early 1970s, far fewer cases of mesothelioma today are due to these fibers but, instead, are usually a result of the aging process or genetic predisposition. In May of 2022, a Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding malignant mesothelioma incidence in women from 1999 to 2020. While this MMWR alerted citizens to the continued presence of the disease, after reading this article one might have thought that the CDC was suggesting that the disease was increasing in women due to asbestos exposures (which it is not). In the present analysis, we investigate several factors related to the interpretation of epidemiological data for mesothelioma, including the role of asbestos as a risk factor over time. The authors conducted a review of the scientific community's understanding of mesothelioma incidence and asbestos exposures amongst women, as well as an investigation of the methods and references in the MMWR article. Although various articles have recently discussed the incidence of both peritoneal and pleural mesothelioma in women, it is fortunate that the age-adjusted rates for mesothelioma have remained flat (neither increased nor decreased significantly) in women for the past 50 years. Incredibly few women in the U. S. have had appreciable cumulative exposures to any type of asbestos (chrysotile, amosite, or crocidolite) in the workplace or from the ambient environment, especially since about 1965-1970.

Despite the progress of information on azo dyes, very little attention has been reported on toxicity assessment of anthraquinone dyes.

Whereas the design of laboratory tests is very expensive, in silico screening was used to predict the metabolic profile and toxicity effect of SB35. MetaTox software was used to predict the metabolites of phase I and II in two layers. Since airborne exposure has been considered, the pathways of inhalation and dermal absorption of SB35 were investigated through the SwissADME model based on the modified Lipinski's rule of five. To predict the biological effect and toxicity of SB35 and each of the metabolites, PASS online software was used. Chemical activity was considered according to the probability of activation values (Pa) higher than the probability of inactivation values (Pi). N- dealkylation of SB35 was predicted in the first layer, while seven active compounds were obtained in the second layer from phases I and II reactions. Investigating the physicochemical properties of SB35 confirmed inhalation absorption for occupational exposure scenarios. All metabolites are absorbed from intestinal routes based on the RO5 rules. SB35 and their metabolites have an effective substrate role for the sub-type of CYP 450 enzymes. The toxicity effect of carcinogenicity for SB35 and mutagenicity for metabolites are predicted while confirmed with some biological effects. However, reproductive disorders are pointed with SB35 by probability higher than 70%.

Patients with moderate or severe endometriosis or poor ovarian reserve were excluded from the study. Biochemical analyses and heavy metal assays of follicular fluid and serum (blood) were followed by statistical analyses of dependencies between lead and cadmium and the components of redox system and results of assisted reproduction. A highly significant linear correlation of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) concentrations in serum and in FF was stated. The number of retrieved oocytes and MII (metaphase II stage) oocytes depended on the malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT), catalase/g of protein (CAT/g of protein), and glutathione reductase (GR) concentrations. Among biochemical factors, MDA was the only factor that correlated negatively with cadmium concentration in serum and FF and simultaneously influenced the number of retrieved oocytes and MII oocytes. The fertilization rate of MII oocytes was influenced by thiol groups-SH, SH/g of protein, CAT, CAT/g of protein, and glutathione peroxidase/g of protein (GPx/g of protein). The Pb and Cd concentrations in FF did not significantly influence the fertilization rates.
