Increased urinary excretion of thioethers as a marker for detecting exposure to herbicide containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid dimethylamine - experimental study on mice.
The possibility that urinary thioethers concentration might be a marker for detecting exposure to herbicide containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid dimethylamine (2,4-DMA) was investigated in animals. Mice were treated with the herbicide containing 2,4-DMA consecutively for 4 days. Urinary concentrations of thioethers related either to body weight or creatinine concentration in urine in the group of animals treated with herbicide were significantly higher compared to control group. Results suggest that thioethers determination in urine might be a noninvasive and simple method for detecting exposure to herbicide containing 2,4-DMA.

Occupational intoxication with carbon monoxide.
The most important safety measure for prevention of CO poisoning is the installation of automatic systems that signal high CO concentrations in the work environment. Public health measures that include stringent pollution control, introduction of low-cost CO monitors, and public education aimed at the high-risk population (e.g., new workers, drivers) should decrease the number of deaths from CO poisoning and should save productive years of life. Toxicity of CO is a consequence of tissue hypoxia created by the displacement of oxygen from hemoglobin and the subsequent impairment of oxygen release to the tissues. Early symptoms of CO intoxication are insidious and can resemble other diseases; physical examination may be unremarkable. For these reasons, many cases of CO poisoning are not readily recognized.
