Webbreathing in loose talc powder may cause lung effects, such as coughing, trouble breathing, decreased lung function and fibrosis; and. talc products.14 The requested labeling was a warning that talcum powder causes cancer in laboratory animals; frequent talc application in the female genital area increases the risk of ovarian cancer. Conclusion Pursuant to section 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of talc. The Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CAS RN (1995) 21:2449. WebTalc is a mineral made up mainly of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. The chemical name of talc is hydrated magnesium silicate.
Therefore, the large amount of available animal and clinical data the Panel relied on in assessing the safety of talc only. Talc is a naturally occurring mineral. Direct-reading approaches were valuable for providing detailed characterization of short duration exposures to airborne talc particles, and will be useful to support future exposure assessments of talc and other powders in consumer products.

A nested case-control analysis showed no association of lung cancer with increasing cumulative exposure to talc, after adjusting for smoking, exposure to quartz, and underground work (30). We provide specialist speech and language therapy services for children with voice difficulties. Overall, in available animal studies, there is indeterminate evidence that talc is associated with lung tumors in rodents based on negative findings in several high-quality studies and species, but positive results in a single species and sex (female rats) exposed to high doses of micronized talc that caused particle overload conditions.

Methods for collecting and analysing respirable talc generated during the use of loose face powder and adult and baby dusting powders were established. An overview of our methods is provided below, and an example of their application can be seen in a recent review on ethylene oxide (9). Specifically, markers of inflammation and injury were observed after intratracheal instillation of large doses of talc, exposure conditions that do not correlate with those of humans. p. 35763.

Pauluhn J. Derivation of occupational exposure levels (OELs) of low-toxicity isometric biopersistent particles: how can the kinetic lung overload paradigm be used for improved inhalation toxicity study design and OEL-derivation? Below are some of the common conditions the Test of Abstract Language Comprehension is used for: Our speech and language therapists help all children who have difficulties with understanding abstract language including children who have been diagnosed with a condition or difficulty as well as those children who have not yet been diagnosed or identified with a particular condition. Questions relate to the immediate environment and require the child to think concretely e.g. No specific mention of mesothelioma was recorded on the death certificates. Honda et al. The estimated average SMR for lung cancer was 1.45 (95% CI: 1.221.72, ) among the workers exposed to talc.Figure 2 shows the forest plot corresponding to the summary lung cancer SMR calculated in the meta-analysis. doi: 10.1016/0041-008X(87)90284-5, 27. 0
After an assessment you can request a detailed report about the information gained during the assessment. Hildick-Smith (1976) in a recent review of the biology of talc points out that domestic talc does not contain impurities, and that people working with this pure talc do not develop pulmonary disease. 1322 0 obj

Although the paucity of mechanistic information remains a limitation, the balance of evidence, especially the volume of epidemiological evidence demonstrating no increased cancer risks associated with even the highest real world human-relevant exposures, strengthens the current analysis. Chem Biol Interact. The body of epidemiological evidence is reasonably large and robust for lung cancer and mesothelioma and provides the most weight in the evidence integration, complemented by the number of high-quality experimental animal carcinogenicity bioassays, as well as the lack of convincing mechanistic evidence. Similar findings were reported in rats exposed to non-asbestiform talcum powder for 6 h per day for 4 weeks via whole-body inhalation (28). The safety of talc has been the subject of much debate through the years, partly because the relationship between talc and asbestos is commonly misunderstood.

Application of Systematic Review in TSCA Risk Evaluations. The results indicate that the talc industry exerted considerable influence over three key areas: regulatory proceedings at the FDA; testing methods and the manipulation of test results (including undisclosed results); and press coverage and the medical literature.

Pierce JS, Riordan AS, Miller EW, Gaffney SH, Hollins DM. (43) extended follow-up of this cohort from 1948 through 1989, reporting two deaths from pleural mesothelioma; however, the underlying causes of death on the death certificates officially were coded by the New York State nosologists as benign neoplasm of the respiratory system and malignant neoplasm of bronchus and lung, unspecified, respectively. The molecular formula for talc is Mg3Si4O10(OH)2. For each cohort, excluding the Austrian and French cohorts, mortality was updated at least once.

Given the huge number of consumer products, it is not possible to calculate the, International journal of cosmetic science. Note that this route of administration (intratracheal instillation) produces different lung distribution patterns compared to inhalation, which limits its relevance to inhalation exposures to talc in humans. 49. We developed a priori inclusion and exclusion criteria to identify the most relevant articles for full review consistent with systematic review principles.

This review is now 12 years old, and several studies and reviews on talc exposure and pulmonary cancer risk have been published since the 2010 IARC Monograph (1, 5, 6).
