“…The sequential changes in the lower airways ob served up to day 3 post-exposure were quite com patible with the early clinical course of acute human diborane poisoning reported in 1950s and 1960S4, 6,7,20).The common clinical manifestations were respiratory symptoms and signs, with head ache, nausea and vertigo developing immediately and gradually progressing to become most severe on day 3 to 5 after acute exposure.…”

“…The industrial production of boron hydrides, which involved more than 2000 people, was accompanied by various accidents, which led to the discovery of the high toxicity of decaborane and its derivatives [88][89][90][91][92]. With decaborane, intoxication, headaches, tremors, impaired coordination, confusion, anxiety, photophobia, and other symptoms are observed.…”

The review covers more than a century of decaborane chemistry from the first synthesis by Alfred Stock to the present day. The main attention is paid to the reactions of the substitution of hydrogen atoms by various atoms and groups with the formation of exo-polyhedral boron–halogen, boron–oxygen, boron–sulfur, boron–nitrogen, boron–phosphorus, and boron–carbon bonds. Particular attention is paid to the chemistry of conjucto-borane anti-[B18H22], whose structure is formed by two decaborane moieties with a common edge, the chemistry of which has been intensively developed in the last decade.

Boron is the fifth element of the periodic table and the only electron‐deficient nonmetallic element. Consequently, boron has a high affinity for electronegative atoms such as oxygen and forms strong covalent boron–oxygen bonds in compounds known as borates. Boron is an essential micronutrient in plants and nutritionally important in animals and humans. Boron occurs naturally in all foods; fruits, vegetables, and nuts contain the highest levels. The toxic effects and pharmacokinetics of boron and borates are reviewed. The inorganic boron‐containing materials share many chemical and biological characteristics thought to be due to unique properties of the boron element. This chapter reviews the shared characteristics and the individual inorganic boron‐containing compounds that have a significant use in industry. Some of the more important physical and chemical properties of boron compounds of commercial significance and widespread exposure are listed. Boron has been shown to cause developmental effects and adversely affect male reproduction in laboratory animals. However, there is no clear evidence of male reproductive effects attributable to boron in studies of highly exposed workers or of developmental effects in humans in studies of populations with high exposures to boron.
