Both groups worked well together in this fashion at the August Asilomar meeting, and "topic lead" can be deferred to members having that specific expertise - with ethicists working ethics issues, as currently done within the science review panel for issues regarding biostatistics, molecular markers, industrial hygiene and other specialties.

This study would lead to improved benzene-driven, health-based regulatory (e.g., ambient air, water & occupational) standards worldwide, by providing the regulatory and scientific communities with information for more accurate assessment of the risks from exposure to benzene.

E Epichlorohydrm is a primary raw material in the production of epoxy and other resms Its vapor is highly irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract Pulmonary edema and kid ney damage may occur Animal experiments with 500 ppm for 4 hr, and 62 ppm for 7 hr per day for 45 days, both produced deaths in the test groups Inhalations of 16 ppm for 7 hr per day for 90 days produced some bron chial irritation m dogs and monkeys Epichlorohydnn was also shown to be highlv toxic when ingested or applied for 24 hr to the skm of rats and rabbits In man, liquid epichlorohydrm produces a transient burning sensation on first skin con tact, which may lead to blistering and deepseated pain within several hours The liquid is also highly irritating to the eyes Some cases of sensitization to small quantities of epichlorohydrm have been reported Epoxy resins are condensation products of epichlorohydrm and bisphenol-A or other polyhydnc compounds The resm and a hardenmg or curing agent (amines, peroxides, organic acid anhydrides, amine adducts, boron trifiuonde amines, amides, and polyamides) are usually mixed at the time of use The chief health hazard is the ability of the amine hardeners to cause dermatitis Although the cunng agents exhibit some de gree of toxicity, greater effort is required to prevent local irritation or sensitization during handling than would ordinarily be required to prevent systemic intoxication by the most toxic of them Cured epoxy resins are con sidered to be relatively nontoxic Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is an extremely ver satile and widely used solvent When ab sorbed into the body, it is rapidly metabolized so that heavy exposure is required to build up a substantial concentration m the tissues Ex posure to a high concentration of the vapor will produce irritation of the mucous mem branes, headache, nervousness, dizziness, tremors, fatigue, nausea, and loss of conscious ness If the exposure is excessive and re peated, it may produce damage to the liver Those not accustomed to alcohol will be un comfortable after prolonged exposure to slightly over 1000 ppm Ethyl acetate is a volatile, flammable sol vent of low toxicity Animals exposed to 2000 ppm for long penods show either no discom fort or irritation of the eyes and dryness of the mouth as the only detectable effects Ethyl acrylate.

Although I realize that the lead time is very short, if at all possible, we would like to have you involved in the protocol review.

Suppression of the immune system can lead to increased susceptibility to disease and a decrease in immunoglobulins can provide an indication o f immune-suppression.

Regularly used by many District Heating Companies for measuring steam sold; also ordered and re-ordered by leading industrial plants to meter steam or air furnished tenants, departments, and processes.

A: The petrochemical industry has long taken a lead role in researching benzene health effects.

Although preparations for the research have begun, this $6.3 million funding gap - - if not closed - - will either compromise the study or lead to its demise.
