Approaches and considerations for setting occupational exposure limits for sensory irritants: report of recent symposia. 设定感官刺激物职业暴露限值的方法和考虑:最近的专题讨论会报告。
D. Paustenbach
Over the past 50 years significant strides have been made in reducing occupational exposure to airborne chemicals. To a large extent, the impetus behind the reductions has been the identification of presumably safe levels of exposure, or occupational exposure limits (OELs). Most of the reduction in exposure has been to chemicals such as hepatotoxins, neurotoxins, nephrotoxins, and carcinogens that cause frank toxic effects. Recently, however, a number of industrial hygiene and occupational medicine initiatives have sought to identify acceptable levels of exposure to sensory irritants and reduce exposure to this class of chemicals. This article presents an overview of the field with emphasis on the work presented at two symposia sponsored by the Chemical Manufacturers Association: "How Do We Set an Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) for Irritation?" (1998) at the American Industrial Hygiene Conference and Exposition and "Respiratory Tract Irritation and Olfaction Conference" (1997). The two symposia reviewed clinical and experimental methods used to assess odor and sensory irritation, to increase understanding of the research needed to establish OELs for sensory irritants, and to discuss how to use this information to identify appropriate values. The symposia illustrated that research in this area is evolving quickly and that there is already sufficient understanding to permit scientists to identify chemicals likely to be sensory irritants. Further, there appears to be an ample number of research methods for identification of airborne concentrations that should protect most workers. This article summarizes some of the key points raised at these symposia and suggests areas deserving of future study.
过去50年来,在减少职业性接触空气中的化学品方面取得了重大进展。在很大程度上,减少辐射背后的推动力是确定了假定的安全暴露水平或职业暴露限值。减少接触的大部分是化学物质,如肝毒素、神经毒素、肾毒素和致癌物质,它们会引起明显的毒性作用。然而,最近,一些工业卫生和职业医学倡议试图确定可接受的感官刺激物暴露水平,并减少接触这类化学品。本文概述了该领域的概况,重点介绍了化学制造商协会主办的两个专题讨论会:“我们如何设定刺激的职业暴露限值(OEL) ?”(1998)在美国工业卫生会议和博览会和“呼吸道刺激和嗅觉会议”(1997)。这两个专题讨论会回顾了用于评估气味和感觉刺激的临床和实验方法,以增加对建立感觉刺激的OELs所需的研究的理解,并讨论如何使用这些信息来确定适当的值。专题讨论会表明,这一领域的研究正在迅速发展,并且已经有足够的了解,使科学家能够识别可能是感官刺激物的化学物质。此外,似乎有大量的研究方法来确定空气中的浓度,应该保护大多数工人。本文总结了这些研讨会上提出的一些关键点,并提出了值得进一步研究的领域。

The use of reverse diffusion to validate the performance of diffusive samplers. 利用反向扩散来验证扩散采样器的性能。
M. Schweder, D. Underhill
A number of different protocols have been put forth for measuring reverse diffusion from diffusive samplers. The basic concept is that reverse diffusion tests, depending as they do on basic laws of mass transfer, are not independent of one another, but may give general information about the limits to the possible change that can occur if the conditions to measure reverse diffusion are changed. Laboratory measurements of the reverse diffusion of vinyl chloride, using 3M and SKC diffusive samplers, following both the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the European Union test protocols, support the mathematical analysis developed in this article. An important conclusion is that if in following the NIOSH protocol a diffusive sampler loses 10% of its analyte over a period of 4 hours, then the maximum loss expected from a sampler allowed to back-diffuse for 8 hours is 19%.
已经提出了许多不同的方案来测量扩散采样器的反向扩散。其基本概念是,反向扩散试验依赖于质量传递的基本定律,它们不是相互独立的,但可以提供关于如果测量反向扩散的条件发生变化时可能发生的变化的极限的一般信息。根据国家职业安全与健康研究所(NIOSH)和欧盟测试协议,使用3M和SKC扩散采样器对氯乙烯的反向扩散进行实验室测量,支持本文中开发的数学分析。一个重要的结论是,如果按照NIOSH协议,扩散采样器在4小时内损失了10%的分析物,那么允许反向扩散8小时的采样器的最大损失为19%。

Approaches to understanding chemosensory responses: new directions and new caveats. 理解化学感觉反应的方法:新方向和新警告。
M. Kendal-Reed
This article describes recent research on sensory irritants that should prove helpful to setting occupational exposure limits (OELs) for this class of chemicals. In addition, background information is provided to assist in recognizing the relevance and importance of this type of work. Research conducted by Dr. Steven Youngentob and others addresses the recovery of olfactory function following exposure to high concentrations of sensory irritants. Their research has combined several different experimental methods to gain insight on how olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) are replaced. Other important work relevant to setting OELs has been conducted by Professor Gerd Kobal, who has relied on human brain imaging during chemosensory stimulation. Commentary on these two approaches is followed by suggestions on how to address the relative lack of detailed normative information on human responses to odors and irritants.
这篇文章描述了最近对感官刺激物的研究,这些研究应该证明有助于为这类化学品设定职业暴露限值(OELs)。此外,还提供了背景资料,以协助认识到这类工作的相关性和重要性。由Steven Youngentob博士和其他人进行的研究解决了暴露于高浓度感官刺激物后嗅觉功能的恢复。他们的研究结合了几种不同的实验方法,以深入了解嗅觉受体神经元(orn)是如何被替换的。与设定OELs相关的其他重要工作是由Gerd Kobal教授进行的,他依赖于化学感觉刺激期间的人脑成像。对这两种方法的评论之后是关于如何解决关于人类对气味和刺激物反应的详细规范信息相对缺乏的建议。

An evaluation of industrial ventilation troubleshooting methods in experimental systems. 工业通风故障排除方法在实验系统中的评价。
S. Guffey, D. W. Booth
This study determined the efficacy of specific methods of identifying and locating obstructions and alterations to industrial exhaust ventilation systems under challenging conditions when measurement errors were minimized. Two traditional screening methods were evaluated: (1) two variations of the hood static pressure method and (2) a severely modified version of the "Check-out" method. Three proposed pressure ratio methods also were evaluated and compared with the traditional methods. Two full-sized experimental ventilation systems in two ventilation laboratories were tested. One system had five branch ducts, the other had eight, with branch duct diameters ranging from 4 to 7 inches. To create challenge, each system received multiple alterations and, in some cases, the airflow level was changed throughout the system. For each round of measurements (1) different combinations of alterations were made to some ducts; (2) on a given system, relevant pressures and flows were determined for each duct using calibrated pressure sensors and standard pitot tubes held in a traversing device; and (3) the numbers of true and false positives and negatives for each screening method were computed for a broad range of threshold values. Sensitivities were plotted against the false positive rates for all thresholds for each method. The area (AROC) under the resulting "receiver operating characteristic curves" was computed for each method. Variability was simulated using bootstrap methods to determine significance of differences. In addition, the thresholds that would achieve 10 and 20% false positive rates were determined for each method and the accompanying sensitivities compared. The pressure ratio methods detected nearly all nontrivial obstructions with nearly zero false positives (AROC=1). The direct pressure comparison methods showed substantially inferior performance for the substantial challenges presented in these tests. The latter may be useful under less challenging conditions but were of dubious utility in locating obstructions under the ranges of conditions tested.
本研究确定了在具有挑战性的条件下,当测量误差最小化时,识别和定位障碍物和改变工业排气通风系统的特定方法的有效性。评估了两种传统筛选方法:(1)引擎盖静压法的两种变体;(2)“检查”法的严重修改版本。对三种压力比方法进行了评价,并与传统方法进行了比较。在两个通风实验室对两个全尺寸实验通风系统进行了测试。一个系统有5个分支管道,另一个有8个分支管道,分支管道直径从4到7英寸不等。为了创造挑战,每个系统都进行了多次更改,在某些情况下,整个系统的气流水平都发生了变化。对于每一轮测量(1),对一些管道进行不同的改变组合;(2)在给定的系统上,使用校准的压力传感器和放置在穿越装置中的标准皮托管来确定每个管道的相关压力和流量;(3)在广泛的阈值范围内计算每种筛选方法的真、假阳性和阴性的数量。对每种方法的所有阈值的敏感性与假阳性率进行绘图。计算了每种方法的“受试者工作特征曲线”下的面积(AROC)。利用自举法模拟变异以确定差异的显著性。此外,确定了每种方法达到10%和20%假阳性率的阈值,并比较了相应的敏感性。压力比方法几乎检测到所有重要的阻塞,假阳性几乎为零(AROC=1)。直接压力比较法在这些测试中提出的重大挑战中表现出明显较差的性能。后者在挑战性较低的条件下可能有用,但在测试条件范围内定位障碍物的效用令人怀疑。

Psychophysical methods in the study of olfaction and respiratory tract irritation. 嗅觉和呼吸道刺激研究中的心理物理方法。
P. Dalton
This article describes the fundamentals of olfaction and irritation perception and the dominant psychophysical methods for the assessment of olfaction and respiratory tract irritation. It also discusses factors that determine the olfactory and irritant response (ranging from the physicochemical properties of the stimulus to the physiological and cognitive characteristics of the individual). Because the vast majority of volatile chemicals stimulate the olfactory system at concentrations well below that at which they will elicit trigeminal activation, the evaluation of irritation from volatiles is often confounded by the perception of odor. Several methods have been used for studying the perception of irritation, without the influence of olfaction. The perception and reports of acute adverse effects of odor, annoyance, and irritation from volatile chemicals have multiple determinants. Understanding the perceptual impact of chemicals under environmentally realistic conditions requires attending to both the sensory and the psychological impact of those exposures. The review, which is largely based on presentations given by Dr. Richard Doty and Dr. William Cain, concludes by discussing the importance of the psychophysical approach, which considers physiochemical, subject, experimental, and cognitive/ psychological factors, for research in the chemical senses.
本文介绍了嗅觉和刺激感知的基本原理,以及评估嗅觉和呼吸道刺激的主要心理物理方法。它还讨论了决定嗅觉和刺激反应的因素(从刺激的物理化学性质到个体的生理和认知特征)。由于绝大多数挥发性化学物质对嗅觉系统的刺激浓度远低于它们引起三叉神经激活的浓度,因此对挥发性化学物质的刺激程度的评估常常与气味的感知相混淆。在不受嗅觉影响的情况下,已有几种方法用于研究刺激的感知。对挥发性化学物质的气味、烦恼和刺激的急性不良反应的感知和报告有多种决定因素。理解化学物质在环境现实条件下的感知影响,需要同时关注这些接触的感官和心理影响。这篇综述主要基于Richard Doty博士和William Cain博士的演讲,最后讨论了心理物理学方法的重要性,该方法考虑了物理化学、主体、实验和认知/心理因素,用于化学感官的研究。

The assessment of irritation using clinical methods and questionnaires. 采用临床方法和问卷调查评估刺激程度。
S. K. Kjaergaar, M. Hodgson
Sensory irritant responses to chemical exposures are measured by a variety of methods; however, studies can be influenced from biases associated with study design and subject responses. This article reviews the different methods used to quantitate irritation. These methods primarily focus on eye and nasal mucosal irritation. Although methods to evaluate mouth, throat mucosal, and dermal irritation are also relevant, they are seldom used in actual practice. Measurements for eye irritation include tear film stability, epithelial damage, foam formation, blinking frequency, tear flow, inflammation, and hyperemia. Methods for detecting nasal mucosa irritation include measuring swelling of the nasal mucosa, peak airflows through the nose, acoustic rhinometry, and rhinostereometry, which measures thickness of the anterior nasal turbinate. Questionnaires are useful for defining a set of symptoms in an attempt to characterize dose-response relationships from controlled exposure studies or field studies, to compare rates of events in field studies, or to screen for disease. However, it is important to consider carefully the study design, goal of utilization, and constraints surrounding their application. Whichever method is used in medical surveillance or to evaluate effectiveness of industrial hygiene or engineering controls in preventing irritation effects from chemical exposure, the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of the irritation measurements are important factors in interpreting the results. This article reviews these various issues and offers some advice.
对化学物质暴露的感觉刺激反应是通过多种方法测量的;然而,研究可能受到与研究设计和受试者反应相关的偏差的影响。本文综述了用于量化刺激的不同方法。这些方法主要集中在眼睛和鼻腔粘膜刺激。虽然评估口腔、咽喉粘膜和皮肤刺激的方法也相关,但在实际中很少使用。眼睛刺激的测量包括泪膜稳定性、上皮损伤、泡沫形成、眨眼频率、泪液流、炎症和充血。检测鼻黏膜刺激的方法包括测量鼻黏膜肿胀、通过鼻子的气流峰值、声学鼻测量法和测量前鼻甲厚度的鼻立体测量法。调查问卷有助于确定一系列症状,以便从受控暴露研究或实地研究中确定剂量-反应关系的特征,比较实地研究中的事件发生率,或筛查疾病。然而,仔细考虑研究设计、利用目标和围绕其应用的约束是很重要的。无论何种方法用于医学监测或评估工业卫生或工程控制在防止化学物质暴露的刺激效应方面的有效性,刺激测量的敏感性、特异性和预测值都是解释结果的重要因素。本文回顾了这些不同的问题,并提供了一些建议。

Approach to setting occupational exposure limits for sensory irritants in The Netherlands. 设定荷兰感官刺激物职业暴露限值的方法。
V. Feron, J. Art, J. Mojet
This article describes how scientists in the Netherlands set occupational exposure limits (OELs) for sensory irritants. When they tackle this issue, a number of key questions need to be answered. For example, did the studies indeed measure sensory irritation and not cytotoxicity? When the irritant is an odorant, can interference of olfactory stimulation be excluded? In the case of subjective measurements, can psychological irritation be excluded? When adaptation is an issue, did the studies indeed measure adaptation and not habituation? When OELs are established in the Netherlands, each of these issues is carefully addressed before a value is suggested. When setting an OEL in the Netherlands, human data carry more weight than animal data of comparable quality. As in the United States, documentation for the recommended OEL is written and a discussion of all available relevant and reliable data culminating in the selection of the key study for deriving the health-based recommended occupational exposure limit is provided. Special effort is dedicated to reconciling differences between the animal and human data. If the toxicological database is considered to be inadequate, the committee acknowledges this limitation and will not recommend a limit value due to insufficient data.
这篇文章描述了荷兰的科学家如何为感官刺激物设定职业暴露限值(OELs)。当他们处理这个问题时,需要回答一些关键问题。例如,这些研究是否确实测量了感官刺激而不是细胞毒性?当刺激物是气味时,是否可以排除嗅觉刺激的干扰?在主观测量的情况下,是否可以排除心理刺激?当适应成为一个问题时,这些研究确实衡量了适应而不是习惯化吗?当在荷兰建立oel时,在建议值之前会仔细解决这些问题。在荷兰设置OEL时,人类数据比同等质量的动物数据更重要。与美国一样,为建议的职业接触限值编写了文件,并讨论了所有现有的相关和可靠数据,最后选择了得出基于健康的建议职业接触限值的关键研究。特别努力致力于调和动物和人类数据之间的差异。如果毒理学数据库被认为是不充分的,委员会承认这一局限性,并且不会因为数据不足而推荐一个极限值。

Evaluating the human response to sensory irritation: implications for setting occupational exposure limits. 评估人类对感官刺激的反应:设定职业暴露限值的意义。
P. Dalton
Although animal models of sensory irritation have led to the development of useful assays for evaluating the potency of chemical irritants, the importance of conducting human exposure studies to model and understand the human response to sensory irritants cannot be minimized. In recent years a series of tests have been developed for humans that can be safely conducted and that can provide excellent data on which to base occupational exposure limits. This article delineates the major issues involved in the evaluations of sensory irritation in humans. Among these issues are the differences between odor and irritation, irritation and slight toxicity, adaptation and habituation, as well as personal expectation about discomfort and the reported irritation. The article also describes psychophysiological and electrophysiological methods for assessing sensory irritation. Some of the possible confounders that can influence the results of human tests involving sensory irritants are addressed.
虽然感觉刺激的动物模型已经导致了评估化学刺激物效力的有用测定方法的发展,但进行人体暴露研究以模拟和了解人体对感觉刺激物的反应的重要性不能被低估。近年来,为人类开发了一系列可安全进行的试验,这些试验可提供极好的数据,作为制定职业接触限值的依据。这篇文章描述了评估人类感官刺激的主要问题。这些问题包括气味和刺激之间的差异,刺激和轻微毒性,适应和习惯化,以及个人对不适和报告刺激的期望。本文还介绍了评估感觉刺激的心理生理学和电生理学方法。讨论了可能影响涉及感官刺激物的人体试验结果的一些可能的混杂因素。
