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.

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

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

Occupational exposures to isocyanates can lead to occupational asthma. Once sensitized, some workers could react to isocyanate monomers at concentrations below 1% of the Permissible Exposure Limit of 5 ppb in air. Currently available methods are not sufficiently sensitive to

Toluene diisocyanates (TDI) are commonly used in polyurethane (PU)-related products. TDIs have been documented as the leading cause of occupational asthma. Skin exposure to TDI in the workplace is common. However, no studies in the literature have investigated the exact
