Objective color scale for the SWYPE surface sampling technique using computerized image analysis tools.

29 Sep 2009 Colorimetric SWYPE pads are useful tools for identifying unpolymerized aliphatic isocyanates on a variety of surfaces. This technique has been used in autobody shops to determine the presence of hexamethylene diisocyanate and other aliphatic ... Read more...

Respiratory symptoms and lung function in foundry workers exposed to low molecular weight isocyanates.

30 May 2009 BACKGROUND: This study investigated the prevalence of ocular and respiratory symptoms and lung function in foundry workers exposed to isocyanic acid (ICA) and methyl isocyanate (MIC). METHODS: Foundry workers (n = 64) using the Hot Box binder ... Read more...

Structural elucidation of isocyanate-peptide adducts using tandem mass spectrometry.

2 May 2009 Diisocyanates are highly reactive chemical compounds widely used in the manufacture of polyurethanes. Although diisocyanates have been identified as causative agents of allergic respiratory diseases, the specific mechanism by which these diseases ... Read more...
