Due to their mechanical properties, ranging from flexible to hard materials, polyurethanes
(PUs) have been widely used in many industrial and biomedical applications. PUs' …

We systematically review the impact of polyurethane insulation and polyurethane household
products on the indoor environmental quality of buildings. The review breaks down …

In this work we characterize personal inhalation and dermal exposures to diphenyl methane
diisocyanate (MDI) and other species in polymeric MDI (pMDI) formulations during spray …

This second part of the review of the 21st century literature on glove permeation is divided
into the following major themes; permeation data and mathematical models, exposure/risk …

Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) monomers and polymeric MDI (pMDI) are aromatic
isocyanates widely used in the production of polyurethanes. These isocyanates can cause …

Mechanisms underlying methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and other low molecular
weight chemical-induced asthma are unclear and appear distinct from those of high …

Background Isocyanates are highly reactive chemicals used widely in metal structure
coating applications in construction. Isocyanates are potent respiratory and skin sensitizers …

Introduction Epoxy-based resin formulations are a frequent cause of allergic and irritant
contact dermatitis in the construction and painting industries. Cases of epoxy resin contact …

Background Polyurethanes are a class of isocyanate-based organic coatings commonly
used to control corrosion on high-value metallic structures. Despite their widespread use …

Disposable gloves are personal protective equipment that should be considered only as a
last resort, or a last line of defense, in terms of dermal protection. Gloves should always be …
