Ethylene oxide doses in ethene-exposed fruit store workers.

Urinary mandelic acid and hemoglobin adducts in fiberglass-reinforced plastics workers exposed to styrene.

“…In co mpariso n, expos ure to I ppm of ethene gives appro xima te ly 70 pm ol hyd ro xyeth yl valin e (adduct of ethylene) . g hemoglobin" (14 ). Therefore styrene is at least 70 time s less effecti ve in co mparison with ethy lene with respect to adduct formation to hem oglobin.…”

Direct Release of Ethylene from Methionine and Methionine Containing Peptides by Action of 13-Hydroperoxy-(9cis, 11trans)-octadecadienoic Acid

“…Ethylene epoxide (Filser et al, 1983) binds cova lently and therefore irreversibly to histidine, ly sine, valine and guanine residues of proteins and DNA (Segerbäck et al, 1983, Törnqvist et al, 1989 and causes as a consequence tissue injury.…”

Ethylene [BAT Value Documentation, 1995]

“…After occupational exposure to ethylene there is increased adduct formation with the N-terminal valine of haemoglobin; this has been attributed to the formation of ethylene oxide (31). The values were also considerably higher in smokers who inhale ethylene in tobacco smoke (32,2,20,13).…”
