SOURCES OF HUMAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE, 5. This polyurethane is then used in the production of rigid or flexible foams, surface coatings, paints, electrical wire insulation, adhesives, rubbers and fibers. Assessing and Managing Chemicals under TSCA. Although limited in various ways, a cohort study and a retrospective study showed no significant association with cancer morbidity. Share sensitive information only on official, secure websites. In a recent study of workers occupationally exposed to either PMDI/MDI or MDA, free MDA was detected in urine prior to acid hydrolysis (Schuetze et al., 1995). Dans une autre tude sur le PMDI, la NOAEL relative la toxicit pour les mres et les foetus a t estime 4 mg/m3, en se basant sur la mort prmature dun certain nombre de rattes gravides et sur la diminution statistiquement significative du poids placentaire et du poids foetal la dose de 12 mg/m3. In laboratory animals exposed to PMDI/MDI, MDA in urine and blood formed by strong acid hydrolysis was used as a biomarker for exposure (Sepai et al., 1995a). . Il ny a pas eu dtudes consacres aux effets du MDI ou du PMDI sur les paramtres gnsiques. Les points daboutissement toxicologiques les plus proccupants sont lasthme dorigine professionnelle, les pneumopathies dhypersensibilit et les affections inflammatoires des voies respiratoires suprieures conscutives linhalation de MDI ou de PMDI. Heating increases the rate of this reaction, and at high temperatures the reaction can be extremely rapid. 1st Source Research, 617 Hutton St., Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, c Woolrich PF (1982) Toxicology, industrial hygiene and medical control of TDI, MDI and PMPPI. MDA concentrations formed in the environment by the reaction of MDI with water are always low. The nasal olfactory and lung lesions indicate a NOAEL of 0.19 mg/m3 and a LOAEL of 0.98 mg/m3. MDI is highly reactive in the environment or when taken up by organisms and is rapidly hydrolysed to form 4,4-methylenedianiline (MDA), which reacts with excess MDI to yield insoluble oligoureas and polyureas. Un certain nombre de cas ont t dcrits qui, linstar de diverses tudes pidmiologiques, mettent en cause le MDI dans certaines dermatites et dans des problmes de sensibilisation ou dasthme dorigine professionnelle. %PDF-1.4 % Un estudio de exposicin por inhalacin con MDI radiomarcado indica que alguna forma o parte del MDI se distribuye por todo el organismo, sobre todo en los pulmones, los msculos, los riones y el aparato digestivo. No se han realizado estudios en los que se haya examinado el efecto del MDI polimrico o monomrico en los parmetros reproductivos. 4,4'-Diphenylmethane diisocyanate is not soluble in water. OSHA Technical Manual (OTM). Le MDI est trs ractif dans lenvironnement ou lorsquil est absorb par des organismes vivants et il est rapidement hydrolys en 4,4-mthylnedianiline (MDA), laquelle ragit son tour sur le MDI en excs pour donner des oligo-ures et des polyures insolubles. However, monomeric MDI is soluble in octane, benzene, and kerosene (Chemical Society of Japan, 1989). 9130, 9.5.1980) (in German). Although there are no human or animal studies that have examined the oral route of exposure, it is unlikely that humans would be exposed by the oral route. Wuppeltal, Bayer AG, Institute for Toxicology. 251; NIH Publication No. 11272). No information on occupational exposure was reported. Le PMDI sert la confection de mousses rigides ou souples, de liants pour sable de moulage et disolants thermiques. Dangerous pressure can build up if container is sealed. Exposure to PMDI aerosols at a concentration of 12 mg/m3 caused premature death in 2 out of 25 animals. Usually HPLC is used for the analysis of MDI and PMDI (NIOSH, 1985; IARC, 1986; Spanne et al., 1996; Tinnerberg et al., 1997). ), de fibres (spandex) et de semelles de chaussures. . TDI is chemically similar to MDI and presents similar hazard and exposure concerns, but is reportedly used in a different range of products. 1 0 obj << /Creator (C:mark) /CreationDate (D:19980227100739Z) /Producer (Acrobat PDFWriter 2.01 for Windows) /Title (Toxicological Review for Methylene diplenyl diisocyanate \(MDI\)) /Author (U.S. EPA Integrated Risk Information System \(IRIS\)) /Keywords (Methylene diplenyl diisocyanate \(MDI\), IRIS) /Subject (Methylene diplenyl diisocyanate \(MDI\)) /ModDate (D:20031016131752-04'00') >> endobj 2 0 obj [ /PDF /Text /ImageB ] endobj 3 0 obj << /Pages 185 0 R /Type /Catalog /Outlines 186 0 R /PageMode /UseOutlines /Metadata 273 0 R >> endobj 4 1 obj << /Kids [ 35 0 R 38 0 R 41 0 R 44 0 R 47 0 R ] /Count 5 /Type /Pages /Parent 183 0 R >> endobj 5 1 obj [ /PDF /Text /ImageB ] endobj 6 1 obj << /Type /Page /Parent 32 0 R /Resources << /Font << /F0 8 0 R /F1 10 0 R >> /ProcSet 5 1 R >> /Contents 7 1 R >> endobj 7 1 obj << /Length 187 0 R /Filter /LZWDecode >> stream Journal of allergy and clinical immunology, 82(1):5561. Diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) 3 industry. The low prevalence of occupational asthma and antibody-dependent sensitization to diphenylmethane diisocyanate in a plant engineered for minimal exposure to diisocyanates. Treatment did not influence any other maternal or fetal parameters investigated, although a slight but significant increase in litters with fetuses displaying asymmetric sternebra was observed after treatment with the highest dose. From day 6 to day 9 of pregnancy, maternal body weight gain of the 8 and 12 mg/m3 groups was slightly decreased (not statistically significant) when compared with the control group. No MDA and no phenyl isocyanate could be detected in the test atmospheres. The rats were exposed for 6 h/day, 5 days/week, for 24 mo to nominal exposure levels of 0, 0.2, 1.0, and 6.0 mg/cu.m. ISBN 92 4 153027 8 (NLM Classification: QV 280) Prepared by the CIVO Institute, Zeist, for the International Isocyanate Institute (Report No. The major isocyanates used in urethane adhesives are aromatic isocyanates, i.e., methylene diphenylisocyanate (MDI) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI). La limite de dtection de la CLHP pour ces deux produits, qui varie en fonction de la mthode dchantillonnage, peut tre infrieure 0,01 mg/m3. The total annual global production of MDI and PMDI was about 1.2 million tonnes in 1991, 1.5 million tonnes in 1993, 1.78 million tonnes in 1994, and 1.95 million tonnes in 1996 (Chemical Week, 1998).

To investigate the immunopathogenesis of diisocyanate-caused asthma, diisocyanate-exposed workers were evaluated for in vitro production of antigen-specific mononuclear cell-derived histamine releasing factor (HRF). Respiration, 64:111113. Le MDI polymris (PMDI), qui est la forme technique et commerciale principale de ce compos est en fait un mlange contenant 25 80 % de 4,4-MDI monomre et des oligomres 3-6 cycles plus quelques isomres comme lisomre 2,2. Call a POISON . When MDI concentrations were kept largely below this concentration, significant changes in lung spirometry were no longer seen, although the incidence of respiratory symptoms was increased significantly. MDI did not show toxicities to fish, aquatic invertebrates, algae, or microorganisms under any acute or long-term exposure testing conditions. Solution for Select the correctly balanced overall reaction resulting from the following half reactions . A cross-sectional evaluation of workers in a steel foundry in which PMDI was used as a component of a binder system used to make cores and moulds was performed; 26 currently exposed (group I), 6 formerly exposed (group II), and 14 non-exposed workers (group III) were involved (Liss et al., 1988). The amount of MDA released after acid hydrolysis (in hydrochloric acid at 3 mol/litre, at 100 C, for 60 min) was on average 6.5 times higher than the amount of free MDA and acetylated MDA present in urine. Blom AJM, Oldersma H (1994) Effect of Desmodur 44 V20-PMDI on the growth of the green alga Scenedesmus subspicatus. We expect that these results lay a firm foundation for the experimental study of substituted isocyanates and their relationship to the energetic pathways of related systems. Tse KS, Johnson A, Chan H, Chan-Yeung C (1985) A study of serum antibody activity in workers with occupational exposure to diphenylmethane diisocyanate. Where spillage is to soil or water, MDI has a transient existence due to its reaction with the water to produce predominantly insoluble polyureas. Commercial synthesis of MDI takes place in closed systems where contact of MDI with water is carefully avoided through production and storage stages, since the NCO group of MDI reacts readily with the OH group of water (EU, 1999). The draft CICAD on diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) was sent for review to institutions and organizations identified by IPCS after contact with IPCS national Contact Points and Participating Institutions, as well as to identified experts. PMDI is the form produced commercially from aniline and formaldehyde using hydrochloric acid as catalyst. Diphenylmethane 4,4'-diisocyanate 101-68-8 30 - 60 Polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate 9016-87-9 60-100 . The by far most important reaction, however, is step-growth polymerization of a diisocyanate with a polyol compound such as a polyester or polyether polyol which leads to the formation of urethane bonds.

Three isomers are common, varying by the positions of the isocyanate groups around the rings: 2,2-MDI, 2,4-MDI, and 4,4-MDI. Pulmonary adenocarcinoma observed in one case was considered as insufficient to identify PMDI as an animal carcinogen; however, in situ generation of MDA, which is a known animal carcinogen via drinking-water, could be responsible for the effect. Shimizu H, Suzuki Y, Takemura N, Goto S, Matsushita H (1985) The results of microbial mutation test for forty-three industrial chemicals.

One of two workers reacted simultaneously to both MDI and MDA. Se obtuvieron resultados tanto positivos como negativos cuando se realizaron pruebas in vitro con MDI monomrico disuelto en dimetilsulfxido en Salmonella typhimurium. En otro estudio en el cual se expusieron ratas a PMDI, la NOAEL para la toxicidad materna y fetal se estim en 4 mg/m3, basada en el resultado de las muertes prematuras de hembras preadas y en la reduccin estadsticamente significativa del peso de la placenta y del feto con 12 mg/m3. * SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Under normal circumstances, exposure of the general public to MDI is likely only from releases to the atmosphere. The adenomas were only a few millimetres in size and were located adjacent to areas in which haemorrhage, macrophage accumulation, and fibroblastic reactions were observed. What material of storage tank can be suitable of storing methylene diphenyl diisocyanate? Where spillage is to soil or water, MDI has a transient existence due to its reaction with the water to produce predominantly insoluble polyureas. [11] It is a potentially violently reactive material towards water and other nucleophiles.

En pareil cas, il se forme galement de la MDA aux dpens du MDI conjugu. Worker exposures are already subject to protective controls in occupational settings. Fundamental and applied toxicology, 22:186194. 414 by BASF (1994). American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine, 150:988994. Of 137 samples analysed for MDI between 1986 and 1992, 129 (94%) were below the limit of detection (not given). After calibration of the ear-swelling response with MDI sensitization dose in log scales, an ear thickness increase of more than 0.03 mm was judged to be significant. Bernstein et al. In: Mohr U, ed. Bulletin europen de physiopathologie respiratoire, 23:561564. Monoisotopic mass 250.074234 Da. Some body weight depression was observed in males of the mid-concentration group through week 10. Transiently slight atonia was observed in a few animals at the three highest dose levels. IPCS (1993) International Chemical Safety Card Methylene bisphenyl isocyanate (MDI). They underwent inhalation challenges using the MDI resin for progressively increasing periods of time on separate days. The relevance of these results to the evaluation of the carcinogenic response to MDI and its potential metabolite is not certain. TDI had been used in all the plants and MDI in all but one, so it was impossible to evaluate their individual effects. The stability of MDI in a model and a real-test environment was studied (Seel et al., 1999). Las concentraciones de MDA que se forman en el medio ambiente por la reaccin del MDI con el agua son siempre bajas. The reader is referred to EHC 1701 for advice on the derivation of health-based tolerable intakes or guidance values. Additional waters (one or two) are predicted to lower both barriers significantly at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pV(T+d)Z level of theory with strongly electron withdrawing RNCO substituents also increasing these effects, similar to the uncatalyzed case. Two-step 2RNCO + H2O mechanisms are characterized for the formation of carbamate and imidic acid. The NOAEL of PMDI aerosol by inhalation for developmental toxicity in this study is 12 mg/m3.

Slight erythema observed initially at all dose levels did not last after 7 days. Smaller numbers of animals were assessed at various time points for lung function and for examination of bronchioalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid for cell counts and protein and enzyme determinations. The incidence of olfactory atrophy was statistically significant in high-dose males (5/10) and high-dose females (6/10). 2'3&2x No hay datos disponibles para la exposicin oral, pero es poco probable la exposicin de las personas al MDI por esta va. . The para-isocyanate moieties were found to be more reactive compared to the ortho-isocyanate moieties. June 1993. hb```"T~g`0p0$ FBgb.0h40t !GL A1CC*| Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) in commercial form typically exists as a mixture of 4,4'-MDI (monomer) and certain oligomers of MDI (Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 1983). MDI is used for polyurethane elastomers (rollers, packing, rubber vibration insulators, synthetic leather, etc. . En un estudio de cohortes y un estudio retrospectivo, aunque eran limitados en varios aspectos, se puso de manifiesto que no haba una asociacin significativa con la morbilidad del cncer. The corresponding values for MDI had been less than 0.01 g/m3. There was also ill-defined exposure to blowing agents, mould lubricants, amine accelerators, and various organic solvents. Manchester, International Isocyanate Institute (unpublished; III Report No. Comme il ne subsiste que peu de temps dans leau, sa solubilit dans ce solvant est purement thorique.

Neither application rate caused any direct toxic effect on the aquatic community, but some significant indirect effects on parts of the macrobenthos were observed. The NOAEL of PMDI aerosol by inhalation for maternal toxicity is 8 mg/m3, based on the increased lung weights (relative weight increased by 14%) and decreased food intake at 12 mg/m3. In the polyurethane industry, the undesirable dimerization and oligomerization of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) are unwanted and problematic phenomena. (1995b) examined biological samples (urine and blood) from 20 workers (as well as 2 unexposed reference workers) exposed to MDI vapour during the manufacture of polyurethane products, together with the levels of MDI in the air of the working environment. Prog Mater Sci 52(6):9151015, Article El diisocianato de difenilmetano (MDI) es el nombre genrico de un producto utilizado en la industria. In short-term tests, nominal concentrations in the range of 5003000 mg MDI/litre caused no lethal effect on freshwater fish (Rhone-Poulenc Chimie, 1977; Nakata, 1983; Caspers et al., 1986).

This CICAD was approved as an international assessment at a meeting of the Final Review Board, held in Stockholm, Sweden, on 2528 May 1999. Studies of workers have identified free MDA, acetylated MDA, and adducts of both with haemoglobin or albumin in urine and blood. Lung to body weight ratios were significantly higher only in the mid- and high-concentration groups relative to controls. Localized fibrosis was significant in males exposed to 6.03 mg/m3 and in females at 0.98 and 6.03 mg/m3. When a minimum latency period of 10 years was applied, the increases against control were even higher, but there were very few cases. Se consider que la hiperplasia celular basal en el epitelio olfatorio detectada con 0,98 y 6,03 mg/m3 era un efecto final crtico no carcinognico. The detection limit of MDI with UV detection was 0.50.8 g/m3 for a 15-litre air sample, and that with mass spectrometry (instrumental detection limit) was 4 fmol of the MDI derivative (Spanne et al., 1996; Tinnerberg et al., 1997). Caspers N, Hamburger B, Kanne R, Klebert W (1986) Ecotoxicity of toluenediisocyanate (TDI), diphenylmethanediisocyanate (MDI), toluenediamine (TDA), diphenylmethanediamine (MDA). Dans les conditions normales, lexposition de la population gnrale au MDI devrait provenir uniquement des missions de ce compos dans latmosphre. American journal of industrial medicine, 31:5663. En casi todos los estudios se identifica MDA libre y acetilada despus de mantener unas condiciones muy hidrolizantes. The group at the 4-position is approximately four times more reactive than the group at the 2-position due to steric hindrance.[4]. CICADs are not a summary of all available data on a particular chemical; rather, they include only that information considered critical for characterization of the risk posed by the chemical. MDI-based isocyanates. Basal cell hyperplasia in the olfactory epithelium was elevated significantly in males only at the mid and high concentrations. Official websites use .gov Brain injury, 8(3):285294. In eight subjects, exposure to subirritant amounts of MDI induced a pattern of reaction consistent with hypersensitivity pneumonitis i.e., significant decreases in both forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1: 31%; range 2340%) and FVC (23%; range 1735%) associated with a rise in body temperature and an increase in blood neutrophils. o-(p-isocyanatobenzyl) phenyl isocyanate. In the current research, a MatLab computer program was developed to characterize the reactivates of different isocyanates moieties based on para versus ortho isocyanate moieties. MDI is the generic name of a product used in industrial settings. (1982), Gee & Morgan (1985), and Sulotto et al. Mutation research, 438:109123. The fate of the other 22% is not known. Phys., 2021,23, 18535 Se consider que el adenocarcinoma pulmonar observado en un caso no era suficiente para identificar al PMDI como carcingeno humano; sin embargo, la causa de ese efecto podra ser la generacin in situ de MDA, que es un carcingeno conocido de los animales a travs del agua de bebida. After 4 days, 70% of the absorbed dose was eliminated (57% faecal elimination and 13% urinary elimination). Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) is a white, odorless diisocyanate that may also occur in crystalline form. 82). Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 72:471476. Buschmann J, Koch W, Fuhst R, Heinfich U (1996) Embryotoxicity study of monomeric 4,4-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) aerosol after inhalation exposure in Wistar rats. Lune de ces tudes, base sur lutilisation de MDI radiomarqu, a montr quune certaine proportion de MDI se rpartit dans lorganisme sous une forme ou sous une autre, essentiellement dans les poumons, les reins, les muscles et les voies digestives. It was found that the tentative associations, derived from the previous cohort study, between exposure to isocyanates and excess risk for non-Hodgkins lymphomas and rectal cancer were not supported. Sepai et al. 4,4'-Methylenediphenylene diis. Appelman LM, de Jong AWJ (1982) Acute inhalation toxicity study of polymeric MDI in rats. One of the degradation products of MDI is MDA, which is known to be genotoxic and whose formation was detected when MDI was dissolved in DMSO (Herbold et al., 1998). urethane groups derived from diisocyanates such as 4,4-diphenyl methane . Gross pathological examination remained essentially negative; no data on histological examination were reported. Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI) are high production volume chemicals used for the manufacture of polyurethanes. Le PMDI est un liquide brun-rouge fonc dont le point de fusion, mal dfini, se situe autour de 0 C. (1998) evaluated whether MDI-specific IgG or IgE could be sensitive biological markers of disease or of MDI exposure. Other reports also suggest that plasma acid-hydrolysable MDA may be a useful biomarker of long-term exposure to MDI (Sepai et al., 1995b; Dalene et al., 1996). This study demonstrates that serum concentrations of MDI-specific IgG appear to be a moderately sensitive biological marker of MDI exposure, but not an indicator of occupational asthma. The blood and urine samples were analysed for the presence of adducts and metabolites using gas chromatographymass spectrometry methods.

The World Health Organization welcomes requests for permission to reproduce or translate its publications, in part or in full. The BMC10 is first converted to a human equivalent concentration (HEC) by application of the Regional Dose Deposited Ratio (RDDR) calculated using a computer program provided in US EPA (1994). When the mutagenicity of isomers and homologues of MDI (4,4-MDI, 2,4-MDI, a mixture of monomeric MDI isomers, and PMDI) was determined in the Salmonella/microsome test using DMSO and ethyleneglycol dimethyl ether (EGDE) as solvents, positive results were obtained for DMSO solutions of all four diisocyanates in the presence of S9 mix containing 30% S9 fraction. PMDI used in experiments is complex and composed of 56 major constituents having 24 aromatic rings. Hannover, Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Aerosol Research (unpublished) (in German). However, it should be noted that this guidance value may not protect against occupational sensitization. Key autocatalytic mechanisms are considered in the presence of excess water and RNCO species. Tanaka K, Takeoka A, Nishimura F, Hanada S (1987) Contact sensitivity induced in mice by methylene bisphenyl diisocyanate. Consider identifying additional diisocyanates and their related polyisocyanates that may be present in an uncured form in consumer products that should be evaluated for regulatory and/or voluntary action. The value considered most appropriate as a basis for development of a tolerable concentration (TC) in air is the lower 95% confidence limit on the BMC at the 10% risk level (BMC10) using the Reuzel et al. Amagasaki, Sumitomo Bayer Urethane Co. (unpublished report). . Under such heterogeneous conditions, the disappearance of PMDI shows zero-order kinetics. The selection of an appropriate catalyst can either . The most commonly applied industrial synthesis of 4,4-methylene diphenyl diamine (4,4-MDA), an important polyurethane intermediate, is the reaction of aniline and formaldehyde. There is abundant evidence not only from epidemiological studies and case-studies, but also from animal studies. Result from testing of 225 chemicals. The CICAD was based principally on the reviews of the Japan Society for Occupational Health (JSOH, 1994) and the US EPA (1998) for the toxicological evaluation and the European Union (EU, 1999) for the environmental assessment. The two major competing reaction mechanisms during pMDI curing with: (a) water, where an aromatic amine (after the release of CO 2 ) reacts with isocyanate to form urea, biuret, and polyurea; and . Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry, University of Georgia, 140 Cedar Street, Athens, Georgia, USA En un estudio de toxicidad/carcinogenicidad por inhalacin crnica de dos aos, las ratas expuestas a un aerosol de PMDI en concentraciones de 0, 0,19, 0,98, y 6,03 mg/m3 mostraron cambios en el aparato respiratorio. Wuppeltal, Bayer AG (unpublished; Bayer Report No. Zeist, CIVO Institute - TNO Toxicology and Nutrition (unpublished; Report No. An increased prevalence of asthma was reported; however, the limitations of the study preclude any meaningful associations. More recently, comprehensive studies on the behaviour of MDI in the aquatic environment have been carried out by Yakabe et al. Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, VCH, 8:6595. J Chem Educ 95(9):15541561, Chen Z et al (2017) Kinetics of waterisocyanate reaction in N N-dimethylformamide. Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) is an aromatic diisocyanate. Another way to dispose of waste MDI is to react the material with a neutralization solution.

El 4,4-MDI monomrico es una sustancia slida de un color entre blanco y amarillo plido a temperatura ambiente, con un peso molecular de 250. Since accidental exposure to MDI in occupational settings may result from incidents such as spillages, split hoses, and leaking drums, the introduction of European Isocyanate Production Association (ISOPA) guidelines for transport, storage, handling, and use of diisocyanate has reduced the potential of accidental exposures over the past 20 years. In one high-dose animal, a bronchioloalveolar adenoma was observed. The mean HRF response to diisocyanatehuman serum albumin (HSA) antigens was significantly greater (p < 0.05) in patients with occupational asthma than in diisocyanate-exposed asymptomatic subjects.
