Glossary of terms used in toxicology, 2nd edition (IUPAC Recommendations 2007)

Abstract

Republication or reproduction of this report or its storage and/or dissemination by electronic means is permitted without the (2004)], contains definitions and explanatory notes, if needed, for terms frequently used in the multidisciplinary field of toxicology. The glossary is compiled primarily for those scientists and others who now find themselves working in toxicology or requiring a knowledge of the subject, especially for hazard and risk assessment. Many medical terms are included because of their frequent occurrence in the toxicological literature. There are three annexes, one containing a list of abbreviations and acronyms used in toxicology, one containing a list of abbreviations and acronyms used by international bodies and by legislation relevant to toxicology and chemical safety, and one describing the classification of carcinogenicity according to the weight of evidence available.

Glossary of terms used in developmental and reproductive toxicology (IUPAC Recommendations 2016)

“…Note 2: The test can be carried out in the presence of differentially centrifuged liver homogenates, providing enzymes that catalyze the metabolic transformation of mutagen precursors to active derivatives. [1] amniocentesis Transabdominal procedure in which amniotic fluid is sampled by means of a needle inserted into the amniotic sac. Note: This procedure is used to screen for infections and abnormalities in the developing fetus.…”

“…importance of toxicology to chemists, produced the Glossary of Terms Used in Toxicology, 2 nd ed., in 2007 [1]. That glossary was intended to provide clear and concise definitions for a range of terms in toxicology and toxicokinetics, primarily for chemists who find themselves working in toxicology or requiring a working knowledge of the subject.…”

“…In order to minimize the reader's time in consulting additional texts, terms from the previously mentioned glossaries [1][2][3][4] are included in the present text when it is felt that they are used with particular frequency in reproductive and developmental toxicology. By the nature of the subject, it is necessary to include a number of clinical and anatomical terms.…”

Functional Ion Membranes Supported Inside Microporous Polypropylene Membranes to Transport Chromium Ions: Determination of Mass Transport Coefficient

“…The IUPAC classification of an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) architecture is "Polymer comprising two or more networks that are at least partially interlaced on a molecular scale but not covalently bonded to each other and cannot be separated unless chemical bonds are broken" [26][27][28] . The goal of the IPN material is the combination of physicochemical properties of individual functional polymers in the same material.…”

Some samples of commercial disposable micro-porous membranes are polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene 23 .The IUPAC classification of an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) architecture is "Polymer comprising two or more networks that are at least partially interlaced on a molecular scale but not covalently bonded to each other and cannot be separated unless chemical bonds are broken" [26][27][28] . The goal of the IPN material is the combination of physicochemical properties of individual functional polymers in the same material.…”
