The risk assessment approach described in this monograph applies only to essential trace elements (ETEs) involved in human health. It gives methods for analysing the boundaries between deficient and excess oral intakes of ETEs. It focuses on the concept of acceptable range of oral intake (AROI). Contents: introduction (purpose, criteria for essentiality of trace elements, definitions); acceptable range of oral intake; variability of human populations; effects of deficiency and excess; application of homeostatic model in human risk assessment to exposure of ETEs.

Internet:
http://www.ilo.org/intranet/english/protection/safework/cis/database/orig/2002/02-0071.pdf

Conclusions of this criteria document: arsenic and its compounds are highly toxic; the ingestion of large doses gives rise to gastro-intestinal symptoms and cardiovascular and neurological disorders that can lead to death. There is a causal relationship between exposure to arsenic, primarily by inhalation, and lung cancer. Chronic exposure to arsenic can cause severe peripheral vascular disease (blackfoot disease). Long-term exposure to arsenic in drinking water increases the risk of skin, lung and bladder cancer as well as other skin anomalies. (78212)

http://www.ilo.org/intranet/english/protection/safework/cis/database/orig/2002/02-0072.pdf

Conclusions of this criteria document: dimethyformamide is slightly irritant and corrosive to the eyes and skin. Occupational exposure results from dermal absorption and inhalation. The primary target is the liver, giving rise to digestive disorders and changes in hepatic enzymes. Data on carcinogenicity and genotoxicity are not convincing; available data are insufficient for the assessment of neurological and immunological effects. (78161)

http://www.ilo.org/intranet/english/protection/safework/cis/database/orig/2002/02-0073.pdf

Conclusions of this criteria document: exposure to barium and barium compounds causes effects on blood pressure (hypertension) and on the renal function. Inhalation of insoluble forms results in radiographic findings of baritosis. Data from animal studies on inhalation exposure show respiratory effects (bronchitis) and inflammatory response and granuloma formation in the lungs. (78162)

CIS 02-74 Chlorinated naphthalenes.

Conclusions of this criteria document: there are 75 possible congeners of chlorinated naphthalenes. In the general population, these products accumulate in adipose tissue, liver, blood and breast milk. Occupational exposure causes severe skin reactions (chloracne) and liver damage. Other effects are: eye irritation, fatigue, headache, anaemia, haematuria, anorexia, impotence, nausea, vomiting and sometimes severe abdominal pain. Mortality studies show an excess of deaths from cirrhosis of the liver and a significantly increased mortality from all cancers, and in particular for cancer of the oesophagus. (78163)

http://www.ilo.org/intranet/english/protection/safework/cis/database/orig/2002/02-0077.pdf

Conclusions of this criteria document: There is insufficient data concerning oral toxicity; the lung is the primary target of inhalation exposure to beryllium, giving rise to acute or chronic pulmonary diseases (berylliosis, chemical pneumonitis) that cause sensitization. Exposure to soluble beryllium compounds causes skin and eye irritation and can give rise to cell-mediated hypersensitivity responses. (78213)
