a-Methylstyrene is used to make heat-resistant acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resins & polymers. This report studies the effects of a-methylstyrene on male & female rats & mice to identify potential toxic or cancer-related hazards. It concludes that exposure to a-methylstyrene in the air caused kidney tumors, & possibly mononuclear cell leukemia, in male rats. It concludes that a-methylstyrene caused liver cancer in female mice, & also possibly in male mice. Charts, tables, graphs & plates.

Cumene is produced in a modified Friedel-Crafts reaction process. Cumene is the principal chemical used in the production of phenol and acetone. Cumene is used: as a thinner; as a constituent of some petroleum-based solvents; in gasoline blending, diesel fuel, and high-octane aviation fuel; and as a raw material for peroxides and oxidation catalysts. Because cumene is a good solvent for fats and resins, it has been suggested as a replacement for benzene in many industrial applications. Cumene occurs naturally in petroleum and in a variety of foodstuffs. Cumene was nominated for study because of its high production volume, presence in gasoline and other fuels, potential for human exposure, and lack of existing carcinogenecity test data. Illus.

Interest in the occurrence and behaviour of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is increasing due to their adverse effects on the environment and human health. It is essential that information is made available on the various aspects of research on VOCs to enable better understanding and control of the various environmental and human health threats. The information in this book will be used to improve communication and understanding of the various approaches. In particular the potential and limitations of the described analytical methods will be essential in defining environmental studies and interpreting the results.

Written by the foremost authority in the field, this volume is a comprehensive review of the multifaceted phenomenon of hepatotoxicity. Dr. Zimmerman examines the interface between chemicals and the liver; the latest research in experimental hepatotoxicology; the hepatotoxic risks of household, industrial, and environmental chemicals; and the adverse effects of drugs on the liver. This thoroughly revised, updated Second Edition features a greatly expanded section on the wide variety of drugs that can cause liver injury. For quick reference, an appendix lists these medications and their associated hepatic injuries. Also included are in-depth discussions of drug metabolism and factors affecting susceptibility to liver injury.
