Toxicity of dipterex: a field study.

X H Hu, Y P Lu, S Z Xue

    British Journal of Industrial Medicine
    |June 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Dipterex exposure, through air and skin, inhibits blood cholinesterase (ChE). Higher temperatures increase poisoning risk via dermal absorption, suggesting a need to revise airborne exposure limits for worker safety.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Environmental Toxicology
    • Industrial Hygiene

    Background:

    • Historical surveillance data (1977-1982) and field study data (1983-1984) were analyzed.
    • A dipterex packing workshop was the study site.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the contribution of airborne and dermal dipterex exposure to cholinesterase inhibition.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of blood cholinesterase monitoring in exposed workers.
    • To recommend revisions for the maximum allowable concentration (MAC) of airborne dipterex.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of historical surveillance data.
    • Conducting a field study involving dipterex exposure monitoring.
    • Monitoring of blood cholinesterase (ChE) activity in workers.
    • Correlation of exposure levels with ChE inhibition.

    Main Results:

    • Both airborne dipterex and dermal contamination were found to inhibit blood ChE.
    • Dermal absorption was identified as the primary cause of poisoning during hot seasons.
    • A mild but significant ChE inhibition was observed at an airborne dipterex level of 0.5 mg/m³.
    • Blood ChE monitoring proved sensitive for both short-term and long-term exposed workers.

    Conclusions:

    • The current recommended MAC of 0.5 mg/m³ for airborne dipterex offers only relative safety.
    • Revising the MAC is necessary to better protect workers from dipterex-induced cholinesterase inhibition.
    • Blood ChE monitoring is a valuable tool for assessing occupational exposure to dipterex.
