Expert Panel on Air Quality Standards Peripheral neuropathy Pharmacokinetics Pulmonary Pulmonary fibrosis Pulmonary interstitium Pulmonary oedema Raynaud’s phenomenon Respiratory tract Renal stones Ribonucleic acid (RNA) Sarcoidosis Subcutaneous Neuropathy (disease or dysfunction of the nervous system) affecting one or more peripheral nerves, causing sensory changes and motor weakness. Branch of pharmacology dedicated to the determination of the fate of substances administered externally to a living organism. Relating to the lung. Chronic progressive interstitial lung disease of unknown origin, characterised by an abnormal and excessive deposition of fibrotic tissue in the pulmonary interstitium with minimal associated inflammation. The part of the lungs which lies between the principal cells, tissues, etc. Build up of fluid in the lungs causing breathlessness. Spasm of the arteries of the digits (often due to low temperature or vibration) leads to pallor, pain, and numbness, and in severe cases to gangrene. The organs that are involved in breathing. These include the nose, throat, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs. Kidney stones. A complex organic compound in living cells concerned with protein synthesis. A chronic disease characterised by the widespread appearance of sarcoid granulomata in the lungs and other tissues. Its cause is usually unknown but it can mimic berylliosis. Lying or situated under the skin. 114
Glossary Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) Toxicological Toxicokinetics Transferrin Vasospastic symptoms These values are established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). They are the concentration in air of a substance to which, it is believed that, most workers can be exposed daily without adverse effect. Quoted as time weighted concentrations for a seven or eight hour workday and a 40 hour working week. For most substances the value may be exceeded, to a certain extent, provided there are compensating periods of exposure below the value during the workday or, in some cases, working week. A limited number of substances are given ceiling concentrations that should never be exceeded. Relating to toxicology, ie, the nature and effects of poisons. Application of pharmacokinetics to determine the relationship between the systemic exposure of a compound in experimental animals and its toxicity. It is used primarily for establishing relationships between exposures in toxicology experiments in animals and the corresponding exposures in humans. Any of several beta globulins found in blood serum which bind and transport iron. Sudden constriction of a blood vessel, resulting in reduced flow. 115
