“…33 Glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde, ethylene oxide, orthophthalaldehyde, peracetic acid, and hydrogen peroxide are used to disinfect medical equipment and surgical instruments. Ethylene oxide and formaldehyde are recognized as carcinogenic and mutagenic, but there have been few studies in humans to evaluate their reproductive toxicity, 3,34,35 and most had limited sample sizes. Information regarding safe exposure levels for pregnant women is lacking.…”

Objective-We investigated self-reported occupational exposure to antineoplastic drugs, anesthetic gases, antiviral drugs, sterilizing agents (disinfectants), and X-rays and the risk of spontaneous abortion in U.S. nurses.Study Design-Pregnancy outcome and occupational exposures were collected retrospectively from 8,461 participants of the Nurses' Health Study II. Of these, 7,482 were eligible for analysis using logistic regression.Results-Participants reported 6,707 live births, and 775 (10%) spontaneous abortions (<20 weeks). After adjusting for age, parity, shift work, and hours worked, antineoplastic drug exposure was associated with a 2-fold increased risk of spontaneous abortion, particularly with early spontaneous abortion before the 12 th week, and 3.5-fold increased risk among nulliparous women.

Exposure to sterilizing agents was associated with a 2-fold increased risk of late spontaneous abortion (12-20 weeks), but not with early spontaneous abortion. HHS Public AccessConclusion-This study suggests that certain occupational exposures common to nurses are related to risks of spontaneous abortion.

Self-Assembly of Novel Mesoporous Manganese Oxide Nanostructures and Their Application in Oxidative Decomposition of Formaldehyde

et al. 2007

Monodisperse manganese oxide honeycomb and hollow nanospheres have been prepared facilely at room temperature by varying the molar ratio of KMnO 4 and oleic acid. These new nanomaterials were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, TEM, and BET measurements. They had robust nanostructures and were stable even after ultrasonic treatment (40 kHz, 120 W) for 30 min. A plausible mechanism of the formation of manganese oxide nanostructures was proposed. The manganese oxide nanomaterials showed high catalytic activities for oxidative decomposition of formaldehyde at low temperatures. Complete conversion of formaldehyde to CO 2 and H 2 O could be achieved, and harmful byproducts were not detected in effluent gases. The catalytic activity of manganese oxide hollow nanospheres was much higher than that of honeycomb nanospheres, although the surface area of the latter was nearly 2 times as high as that of the former. The mechanism of such morphologydependent catalytic activity was discussed in detail. The catalytic activities of the obtained manganese oxide nanospheres were also significantly higher than those of previously reported manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieve (OMS-2) nanorods, MnO x powders, and alumina-supported manganese-palladium oxide catalysts. Potential applications and future research efforts were proposed.

The formation and adsorption of formate species over Cu-Al 2 O 3 catalyst at room temperature have been studied by means of in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and theory calculations. The geometrical structures and vibration spectra were obtained at the density function theory (DFT) and compared with the corresponding experimental values. Theoretical calculations show that the calculated IR spectra for DFT-PBE1PBE and DFT-MPW1PW91 method are in good agreement with the experimental spectroscopic results. The mechanism of the catalyst deactivation and regeneration was also discussed during the process of the removal of HCHO on Cu-Al 2 O 3 catalyst at room temperature.
