Guinea pig hemoglobin (Hb) adducts of 2,4- and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate (2,4- and 2,6-TDI) were individually prepared, each at a Hb tetramer to diisocyanate ratio of 1:1, and compared with adducts of Hb from animals exposed to 1 ppm 2,4-TDI vapor.

Bronchial epithelial cells release chemotactic factors for lymphocytes and express HLA-DR antigens. Thus they may contribute to the T-cell-mediated inflammatory responses involved in a number of pulmonary diseases such as asthma. In this study, the in vitro exposure of human

To assess the nature and the time-course of the cellular component of airway inflammation induced by isocyanates, we examined nine subjects with occupational asthma induced by toluene- or methylene diphenyl-diisocyanate (TDI, MDI) and four control subjects never exposed to isocyanates.

Isocyanates can cause occupational asthma. By using available HPLC-UVF methods, isocyanates can be quantified only at levels above 1% of the Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL). Once sensitized, workers can react to concentrations below these limits of detection (LOD) making these
G Sesana et al.
American Industrial Hygiene Association journal, 52(5), 183-186 (1991-05-01)
A new sampling system is presented that uses solid sorbent media contained in a tube for the determination of airborne isocyanates (2.4-2.6 toluene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, and 4.4' diaminodiphenylmethane diisocyanate). The method is compared with the National Institute for Occupational
