Femtosecond transient absorption, Raman, and electrochemistry studies of tetrasulfonated copper phthalocyanine in water solutions.

Ultrafast time-resolved electronic spectra of the primary events induced in the copper tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine Cu(tsPc)4-) in aqueous solution has been measured by femtosecond pump-probe transient absorption spectroscopy. The primary events initiated by the absorption of a photon occurring within the femtosecond time scale are discussed on the basis of the electron transfer mechanism between the adjacent phthalocyanine rings proposed recently in our laboratory. The femtosecond transient absorption results are compared with the low temperature emission spectra obtained with Raman spectroscopy and the voltammetric curves.

[Information sources on carcinogenic agents].

This work comprises lists of publications and computer data bases available at the Scientific Information Department, The Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine, Lodz, Poland, containing information on cancer risks resulting from exposure to carcinogenic agents. The following publications have been described: IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risk to Humans; Official lists of carcinogens valid in individual countries; a periodical--Survey of compounds which have been tested for carcinogenic activity; a guide--The Annual Report on Carcinogens, a series on Carcinogens in the Occupational Environment, comprising Information Cards and Monographs; a guide on Carcinogenic Agents, and computer databases, including the INCAR, IRIS, IRPTC, RTECS CHEMINFO factual databases and the CANCER-CD, MEDLINE, TOXLINE, NIOSHTIC and MEDIP bibliographic (or reference) databases. The presented publications and databases may prove helpful in searching for data on identifying and preventing the adverse health effects of environmental and occupational exposure to carcinogens.

[Chemical safety cards as a fundamental information source for chemical exposure].

The Polish version of/International Chemical Safety Cards is based on the translation of the International Chemical Safety Card (ICSC) developed within the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) in cooperation with and financial support of the Commission of the European Communities (CEC). International Chemical Safety Cards comprise basic information and requirements in the field of chemical safety as well as in/health and environment protection during production, transportation and application stages. Cards are a simple and easy available source of information for control services involved in labour hygiene, technical supervision, industrial health services at lower levels as well as for employers and employees. The cards should be available at each work place and at each work-post.
