Thus, it seems that positive test results in any in vitro test system are caused by the degradation products of MDI in DMSO, rather than by MDI itself. 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. An oligourea was synthesized from 4,4-MDI and 4,4-MDA and shown to be mainly diurea. Diphenylmethane-4,4-diisocyanate is a light yellow colored solid. Under normal circumstances, exposure is likely only from releases to the atmosphere. IPCS (1993) International Chemical Safety Card Methylene bisphenyl isocyanate (MDI).

Although there were many limitations, such as involvement of confounding factors in mixed exposures and lack of knowledge of actual exposure concentrations, it was concluded that significant impairment of lung spirometry values was observed in the collective exposed to PMDI concentrations up to 0.87 mg/m3. Where spillage is to soil or water, MDI has a transient existence due to its reaction with the water to produce predominantly insoluble polyureas. 4 European Union's Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, updated by the 1st Adaption to Technical Progress to the Regulation. Tinnerberg H, Spanne M, Dalene M, Skarping G (1997) Determination of complex mixtures of airborne isocyanates and amines, Part 3. (1998) evaluated whether MDI-specific IgG or IgE could be sensitive biological markers of disease or of MDI exposure. . This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution. With this third step of its multiphase capacity expansion, BASF will increase production capacity to 600,000 metric tons per year by the middle of the decade and support the ongoing growth of its North American MDI customers. Some isocyanates react with water to form amines and liberate carbon dioxide. A retrospective mortality and cancer morbidity study was conducted to investigate associations between health risk and exposures from polyurethane foam production, particularly exposures to diisocyanates (Sorahan & Pope, 1993). Une tude sur cohorte et une tude rtrospective, prsentant il est vrai un certain nombre de limitations, ont montr quil ny avait aucune association entre le MDI et la morbidit cancreuse.

Pour ce qui est de lexposition par la voie respiratoire, on ne dispose que dtudes limites sur le rat. Table 2: Toxicity of MDI to terrestrial organisms.a. Published under the joint sponsorship of the United Nations Environment Programme, the International Labour Organization, and the World Health Organization, and produced within the framework of the Inter-Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals. The example given here is a pragmatic approach to reduce occupational exposure to the minimum possible, because a threshold for this effect cannot be established. There is abundant evidence not only from epidemiological studies and case-studies, but also from animal studies. Such symptoms were no longer significantly more frequent at PMDI concentrations of 0.1 mg/m3. Pseudo-first-order rate constants for the conversion of MDI were determined at 293 K and pH values between 4 and 9, and at temperatures between 283 and 303 K at pH 7. The Ontario Ministry of Labour, Canada, assessed the cause of multiple respiratory complaints among workers at a plant that manufactures automotive instrument panels using polyurethane (Liss et al., 1996). N.O.S. The subjects had been exposed to hydrocarbon solvent as well, but none of them was symptomatic until MDI was introduced to the workplace. 116-06-084). 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.

(1990, 1994a) data set by BMC analysis, it is multiplied by the RDDR (0.453). The LC50 in this study was estimated to be 490 mg/m3. Molecular understanding of the 4,4-MDA formation can provide strategy to prevent from side reactions. 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. Subsequent to external review and incorporation of comments, this assessment has undergone an agency-wide review process whereby the IRIS Program Manager has achieved a consensus approval among the Office of Research and Development, Office of Air and Radiation, Office of Prevention, Pesticides, and Toxic Substances, Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, Office of Water, Office of Policy Planning and Evaluation, and the Regional Offices. To help minimize potential risks, users generally add the waste MDI slowly or in increments, under mechanical stirring, to the solution, which . 4,4'-Methylenediphenyl diisocyanate, oligomeric reaction products with -hydro--hydroxypoly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl) (9048-57-1) STOT bij eenmalige blootstelling Kan irritatie van de luchtwegen veroorzaken. Abstract. No clinical signs or mortality related to treatment was observed during the study.

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. However, there is insufficient human evidence to describe (1) the nature of the MDI-containing material, (2) the concentrationresponse relationship, or (3) the mechanism of isocyanate-induced asthma and sensitization. The half-life of MDI in water under neutral conditions and at 298 K was found to be 11 s. 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. (1996), up to 10 g of PMDI was added per litre of water into artificial outdoor ponds, simulating accidental pollution of a pond. Authors of the first draft are usually, but not necessarily, from the institution that developed the original review. In a 2-year chronic inhalation toxicity/carcinogenicity study, rats that were exposed to PMDI aerosol at concentrations of 0, 0.19, 0.98, or 6.03 mg/m3 showed changes in the respiratory tract. Brain injury, 8(3):285294. water but will react with water to produce inert and non-biodegradable solids. The heterogeneous hydrolysis reactions were carried out in glass reaction tubes under nitrogen with initial polyurea loadings of 2 g/L in deionized water or buffer solution. Hydrogenated MDI ( H12MDI or 4,4-diisocyanato dicyclohexylmethane) is an organic compound in the class known as isocyanates. Le compos est ensuite limin avec ses mtabolites, 57 et 13 % de la radioactivit tant respectivement rcuprs dans les matires fcales et les urines au bout de 4 jours.

Lyon, International Agency for Research on Cancer, pp. The amine product will spontaneously react with another isocyanate molecule forming a urea. It has a transient existence in water; thus, its water solubility is only notional. The most commonly used DIs include 4,4-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI, CAS 101-68-8), toluene diisocyanate (TDI, mainly used as a mixture of 2,4-TDI and 2,6-TDI isomers CAS 26471-62-5), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI, CAS 822-06-0) and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI, CAS 4098-71-9). There was no increased risk of death caused by bronchial obstructive disease. En la orina aparecieron pequeas cantidades de MDA libre y acetilada. It should be noted that the EU document is still an unapproved draft and that the information presented in the environmental sections is based mainly on unpublished studies. A 2-year chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity inhalation study was carried out with SPF Wistar rats (60 per sex per exposure level) exposed whole body to PMDI aerosol at 0, 0.19, 0.98, or 6.03 mg/m3 for 6 h per day, 5 days per week (Reuzel et al., 1994b). van der Hoeven N, Roza P, Henzen L (1992b) Determination of the LC50 (14 days) of TDI, TDA, MDI, and MDA to the earthworm Eisenia fetida according to OECD Guideline No. Herbold B (1990b) Special study, Salmonella/microsome test with Desmodur 44M (4,4-MDI) using TA100. The most commonly used isocyanate in urethane adhesives is 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. is . Copyright Clearance Center request page. Although limited in various ways, a cohort study and a retrospective study showed no significant association with cancer morbidity.

Simulation approach for characterizing the isocyanates reactivity in polyurethane gel reactions. Caution: The MDI/polyol reaction is exothermic, which may cause spontaneous combustion with the foam produced. When MDI comes into contact with water, it does not disperse readily, but forms globules or solid masses, which react at their surface. 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. The relative ratios of these dimers and oligomers have a strong temperature dependence, and they can be formed below and above the melting point of MDI (316.15 K). It is well documented that isocyanates are a cause of occupational asthma (Vandenplas et al., 1993). [8], The positions of the isocyanate groups influences their reactivity. The most widely used aromatic diisocyanates are toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI).

(1994a), SPF Wistar rats (30 per sex per exposure level) were exposed, whole body, to PMDI (Desmodur 44V20 from Bayer AG, with monomeric MDI 52%, isocyanate content 30%) aerosol at 0, 4.1, 8.4, or 12.3 mg/m3 for 6 h per day, 5 days per week, for 13 weeks. Results from an earthworm toxicity test conducted according to OECD Guideline No. Fundamental and applied toxicology, 22:186194. They underwent inhalation challenges using the MDI resin for progressively increasing periods of time on separate days. Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 72:14571463. This result has been accounted for as follows: MDA is formed only slowly at neutral pH and reacts rapidly with excess MDI to yield oligoureas and polyureas; MDI aerosols can form a shell of polyurea on the surface of the droplets, and this shell prevents further reaction of the enclosed MDI (Mann, 1987). In most cases (17 out of 20), the air levels were below detection limits.

The report entitled Toxicological review of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and summary information on IRIS (Integrated Risk Information System) have received peer review both by EPA scientists and by independent scientists external to EPA. The overall mean concentrations were 2.2, 4.9, and 13.6 mg/m3, respectively. methylene diphenyl diisocyanate; p,p-diphenylmethanediisocyanate. It can therefore be expected that, in aqueous environments, the rate of reaction with water (50 M) would always by far exceed that with other OH-bearing molecules (mM). (1978, 1986, 1988), Martin et al. The reader is referred to EHC 1701 for advice on the derivation of health-based tolerable intakes or guidance values. Serum-specific IgE and IgG antibodies to an MDIHSA conjugate were assayed by the radioallergosorbent test (RAST) and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively, and compared with nine non-exposed laboratory controls. If you want to reproduce the whole article Worker exposures are already subject to protective controls in occupational settings. The challenge solution induced ear swelling of delayed onset, with its peak at 24 h. Passive transfer of the MDI-induced contact sensitivity was achieved by injecting lymphocytes from the lymph nodes of MDI-sensitized mice into the caudal vein of syngeneic mice, and the effector cells were found to be T-cells. If unprotected, MDI reacts with water to form carbon dioxide. El MDI polimrico (PMDI), forma tcnico/comercial primaria del MDI, es en realidad una mezcla que contiene un 25%-80% de 4,4-MDI monomrico, as como oligmeros con 3-6 anillos y otros ismeros secundarios, como el ismero 2,2. It has a boiling point of >300 C at 101.3 kPa, a melting point of 3943 C (capillary method) or 40 C (differential scanning calorimetry or DSC method) (Kelly et al., 1997), and a vapour pressure of <1 mPa at 20 C (DFG, 1997). (Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate) Land Transport TDG Not regulated as dangerous good. Toutefois, sachant que le DMSO ragit sur le MDI pour donner de la MDA et peut-tre dautres produits, on ne peut pas considrer ces rsultats comme significatifs en vue dune valuation du risque pour lHomme. La exposicin de ratas Wistar preadas a MDI monomrico dio lugar a una mayor incidencia de esternebras asimtricas en fetos con 9 mg/m3; sin embargo, como el aumento quedaba dentro de los lmites de la variabilidad biolgica, la NOAEL para la toxicidad en el desarrollo en ese estudio se estim en 9 mg/m3. In the lung, neither isocyanate adducts nor the arylamine adduct was detectable. Some of the more immobile populations (Oligochaeta, Bivalvia, Diptera) were almost completely wiped out as a result of physical obstruction by the polyurea layer, lack of oxygen, and toxic carbon dioxide concentrations 714 days after application. JSOH (1994) [Recommendation and the reasoning for the occupational exposure limits on MDI.] The study group consisted of nine MDI-exposed workers and nine non-exposed workers. No other differences were observed in body weight and body weight gain, carcass weight, or net weight gain when compared with the control group. /G Base-catalysed reactions of isocyanates with alcohols should be carried out in inert solvents. that this reaction is not expected to result in increased ground-level ozone accumulation. After inhalation exposure of female Wistar rats to 4,4-methylene diisocyanate aerosols (0.26, 0.70 and 2.06 mg/m 3 chronically for three and 12 . TDI is chemically similar to MDI and presents similar hazard and exposure concerns, but is reportedly used in a different range of products. As a consequence, the rainbow trout in this pond, which were feeding on Cladocera as their main natural food source, lost weight, and three of six fish in this pond died 1 month after the application of MDI.

Thus, these studies demonstrated clear adverse pulmonary and nasal effects at 8.4 mg/m3, and they are statistically significant at 4.1 mg/m3. 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. Both positive and negative results were obtained when monomeric MDI dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was tested in vitro with Salmonella typhimurium. The author and reviewers are listed below. SOURCES OF HUMAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE, 5. The specific humoral immune response can be IgE as well as IgG mediated, but many patients with sensitization to isocyanates have no demonstrative serum antibodies against the isocyanates. (1993) investigated nine subjects who complained of respiratory and general symptoms related to workplace exposure. Carcinogenesis, 16(3): 573582. Compared with the controls, the foundry workers had more respiratory symptoms and a significantly lower mean FEV1 and forced expiratory flow from 25% to 75% of the FVC (FEF2575, or mid-expiratory flow rate of the FVC). Animal inhalation studies have shown that PMDI exposure (see section 8.4.2 for details of particle size distribution) results in significant deposition both in the nasal region and in the alveolar region of the lungs (Reuzel et al., 1994a,b). No short-term study on monomeric MDI and no data from oral or dermal routes were available. Una vez recogida de manera adecuada la forma aerosol mediante interceptadores, burbujas o filtros, el MDI y el PMDI se analizan mediante cromatografa lquida de alto rendimiento. En un estudio de un estanque se comprob que es muy poco probable que se produzca acumulacin de MDI a lo largo de la cadena alimentaria acutica, como cabra esperar considerando que tiene una solubilidad muy baja y una elevada reactividad en solucin acuosa.

These effects correlated with pulmonary function deficits (FEF25 [forced expiratory flow from 25% of the forced vital capacity, or FVC] and carbon monoxide diffusion), particularly in the high-exposure group. The pond study provides evidence that MDI accumulation through the aquatic food chain is extremely unlikely, as might be expected considering the very low solubility and high reactivity of MDI in aqueous solution.

Based on a marginal increase in lung to body weight ratio at higher doses, it was concluded that 2.2 mg/m3, which was the lowest dose level examined, was a no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL). The interactions between oxidised tantalum and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) have been investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) . The health end-point of most concern is an association between exposure to airborne polymeric and/or monomeric MDI and occupationally induced asthma. There was also ill-defined exposure to blowing agents, mould lubricants, amine accelerators, and various organic solvents.

We present very high-level ab initio computations on the HNCO + H2O re Guinea-pigs exposed to monomeric MDI aerosol at concentrations between 0.6 and 350 mg/m3 (no other details available) for 3 h showed a decrease in respiration rate and an increase in tidal volume at lower concentrations, whereas a concentration-dependent increase in respiration rate was seen above 10.4 mg/m3 (Thorne et al., 1986). Blom & Oldersma (1994) observed no effects on cell multiplication of the freshwater alga Scenedesmus subspicatus after a 3-day exposure to a nominal concentration of 1640 mg PMDI/litre. Many variations of MDI are commercially available . They are based on selected national or regional evaluation documents or on existing EHCs. Since the first study found high mortality, probably due to the use of very young animals, another 13-week study was conducted at actual mean concentrations of 0.35, 1.4, and 7.2 mg/m3 (Reuzel et al., 1994a).

A health study of the 78 workers in an iron and steel foundry in Vancouver, Canada, was carried out, and the results were compared with those found in 372 railway repair yard workers (Johnson et al., 1985). Since the number of the effects observed in the 9 mg/m3 group was within the limits of biological variability, a NOAEL for developmental effects of 9 mg/m3 was determined in this study. Diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) is a member of the diisocyanate family associated with polyurethane chemistry. Unless otherwise stated, CICADs are based on a search of the scientific literature to the date shown in the executive summary. A similar, smaller difference was seen with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. La composition exacte du PMDI varie selon les producteurs. Isocyanates were suspected as a causal agent of asthma in 336 cases out of 1528 reported for 19891991. The faecal and urinary elimination of MDI and its metabolites over 4 days was 57% and 13% of the recovered radioactivity, respectively.
