To investigate the effects of 1,4-dichlorobenzene (1,4-DCB) on kidney, liver, and hematological functions of workers in insect repellent factories in Taiwan. A cross-sectional study was performed comparing 46 exposed workers and 29 non-exposed workers. Health information was collected using questionnaires
The organophosphorus (OP) compound O-hexyl-O-2,5-dichlorophenyl phosphoramidate (H-DCP) is hydrolysed in the plasma, liver and brain of hens and rats. We study in hen plasma the effect of tissue and substrate concentrations and of pH on the hydrolysing activity of H-DCP.

O-Hexyl O-2,5-dichlorophenyl phosphoramidate (HDCP) is a chiral organophosphorus compound that undergoes enzymatic hydrolysis in the rat and hen. Studies of the stereospecificity of its biodegradation are necessary to establish HDCP toxicity. To this effect, methods have been developed for the

p-Dichlorobenzene is used widely in the United States as a room deodorizer, a moth repellent, and a precursor for a polymer. In a previous study of selected children in Arkansas, we found that 96% of the children had detectable urinary
In humans, the metabolism of environmental phenols may include the formation of conjugated species (e.g., glucuronides and sulfates), but the free species-not the conjugated forms-are considered biologically active. Therefore, information on the concentration of these free species in blood or
