As part of its "Programme for the prevention of health haz- ards
caused by industrial substances", the Berufsgenossen- schaft der
chemischen Industrie (BG Chemie, Employment Accident Insurance Fund
of the Chemical Industry) began in 1977 to investigate the toxicity
of those chemicals which are widely used, have many different
applications and are suspected of being dangerous to health, in
particular of hav- ing long-term effects. The investigations
consist of a litera- ture search and - depending on the results -
commissions of experimental studies. It is hoped by means of this
testing to close gaps in our knowledge and to increase the
scientif- ic validity of the required risk assessments. The results
of the toxicological investigations carried out by BG Chemie, and
the resulting substance assessments have been published in German
since 1987 in the form of 169 "Toxikologische Bewertungen"
("Toxicological Evaluations") up to now. In order to make this
useful information internationally available, BG Chemie began in
October 1990 to publish as a book series in English, of which the
eighth volu- them me (containing 14 individual evaluations) is
presented here. Therefore for 110 existing chemicals "Toxicological
Evalua- tions" are available in English at the moment, a further 54
are in preparation and will be published soon.

tungen" ("Toxicological Evaluations") up to now. In order to make
this useful information internation- ally available, BG Chemie
began in October 1990 to pub- lish them as a book series in
English, of which the fifth vol- ume (containing 12 individual
evaluations) is presented here. Therefore for 72 existing chemicals
"Toxicological Evaluations" are available in English at the moment,
a fur- ther 38 are in preparation and will be published soon.
As part of its programme for the prevention of health hazards
caused by industrial work substances, the Berufsgenossenschaft der
chemischen Industrie (BG Chemie) began in 1977 to investigate the
toxicity of those substances which are widely used, have many
different applications and are suspected of being dangerous to
health, in particular of having long-term effects on health. It is
hoped by means of this testing to close gaps in our knowledge and
to increase the scientific validity of the required risk
assessments. The results of the toxicological investigations
carried out by BG Chemie, and the resulting substance assessments
have been published in West Ger many since 1987 in the form of
"Toxicological Evaluations". In order to make this useful
information internationally available, the second volume
(containing individual evalua tions of 15 substances) is now being
published in English. The first volume containing individual
evaluations of 19 substances was published in October 1990. Because
of the short time between publishing volumes 1 and 2, printing of
the "Introduction" (consisting of a general overview of the
programme, lists with names of people involved as well as
substances under investigation was abandoned in volume 2. If there
more detailed information is required, see volume 1 or contact BG
Chemie at first hand. The publication of further individual
evaluations and, if necessary, reassess ments of previously
published evaluations is planned.
Toxicological Evaluations are critically assessed data and
recommendations for occupational safety officers, industrial
hygienists, and human and animal toxicologists. They are compiled
and constantly reviewed under internationally coordinated programs
for establishing the risk potential of existing chemicals to
prevent health hazards at the working place. In Volume 13, data for
the following chemicals are published: Benzyl chloride,
Triethylenediamine, 2-Amino-6-methoxybenzothiazol, Fluorobenzene,
alpha-Naphthylamine, Triethylphosphite, Diethylphosphite,
Diphenyl-2-ethylhexyl phosphate, alpha-Chlorpropionic acid and
sodium-alpha-chloropropionate, Zinc ethylphenyl dithiocarbamate,
Dimethoxy thiophosphonyl chloride, p-Chlorbenzotrifluoride.
Toxicological Evaluations are critically assessed data and
recommendations for occupational safety officers, industrial
hygienists, and human and animal toxicologists. They are compiled
and constantly reviewed under internationally coordinated programs
for establishing the risk potential of existing chemicals to
prevent health hazards at the working place. In Volume 11, data for
the following chemicals are published: o-Phthalodinitrile,
Dimethylaminopropionitrile, Anthraquinone, Triisobutylphosphate,
4-Nitro-4'-aminodiphenylamine-2-sulfonic acid,
2,5-Dimethoxy-4-chloreanilino, Antimony-(III)-chloride,
Antimony-(V)-chloride, Antimony-(V)-oxide, N,
N-Dicyclohexyl-2-benzothiazolesulfenamide, Ethenesulfonic acid,
sodium salt.
Toxicological Evaluations are critically assessed data and
recommendations for occupational safety officers, industrial
hygienists, and human and animal toxicologists. They are compiled
and constantly reviewed under internationally coordinated programs
for establishing the risk potential of existing chemicals to
rpevent health hazards at the working place. In Volume 12, data for
the following chemicals are published: Ethylenthiourea,
N,N'-Di-sec-butyl-p-phenylenediamine, p-Nitrosophenol,
Dichlorotoluene, 2,4-Dichlorotoluene, 3,4-Dichlorotoluene, Glyoxal,
Chloracetyl chloride, Copper phthalocyanine, Dimethylol
dihydroxyethylene urea, Acetoacetanilide, Thiourea,
3,4-Dichlorobutene-1
As part of its programme for the prevention of health hazards
caused by industrial work substances, the Berufsgenossenschaft der
Chemischen Industrie began in 1977 to investigate the toxicity of
those existing substances which are in widespread use, have many
different applica tions and are suspected of being possibly
dangerous to health, in particular of having long-term effects on
health. It is hoped by means of this testing to close gaps in our
knowledge and to increase the scientific validity of the required
risk assessments. The results of the toxicological investigations
carried out by the Berufsgenossenschaft der Chemischen Industrie,
and the resulting substance assess ments have been published in
West Germany since 1987 in the form of "Toxicological Evaluations".
In order to make this useful information internationally available,
the "Toxicological Evaluations" are now being published in English.
This first volume contains individual evaluations of 21 substances.
The publication of further individual evaluations and, if
necessary, reassessments of previously published evaluations is
planned.
