Soldiers handling modular artillery propellant increments may have the potential to absorb chemical components through the skin of the hands. The purpose of this research was to determine if systemic absorption of chemical components of the new Modular Artillery Charge System (MACS) might be a hazard in operational military environments. The MACS includes a low zone XM23 1 increment and a high zone XM232 increment. For this study we sampled ...
Soldiers handling Howitzer cartridges may have the potential to absorb the components of solid propellants through the skin of the hands. The purpose of this research was to determine if systemic absorption of chemical components of the new Modular Artillery Charge System (MACS) might be a hazard in operational military environments. We sampled the surfaces of solid propellant cartridges (XM232), which were stored under extreme environmental conditions, to determine the ...
Certain hydrocarbons have been shown to cause nephrotoxicity in male rats. Because of tetralin's unique structural and electrical character, tetralin metabolism in male and female Fischer 344 rats and its effects on renal damage were evaluated. Male and female Fischer 344 rats were intragastrically dosed every other day with tetralin over a 14 day period. Additionally Fischer rats were pretreated intraperitoneally with either corn oil, sodium phenobarbital, 3- methylcholanthrene or ...
