<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>In Korea, humidifiers that include biocidal ingredients have caused serious lung injuries and deaths. After these incidents, public concern regarding the use of chemicals in products (i.e., chemical phobia) increased. Frequent health risk assessments and stringent management of consumer products are, therefore, of paramount importance to reduce these serious occurrences. In this study, the irritative and respiratory health effects of deodorants were assessed in relation to dermal and inhalation exposure. In total, 64 deodorants were divided into 5 groups by application type, and health risk assessments were conducted on each group. In total, 26 fragrance ingredients and 27 biocidal ingredients were analyzed and assessed according to their risk to human health. Exposure assessment was performed in two steps. In the tiered 1 assessment (screening), the 95th exposure factor values were used to estimate exposure to assume the worst-case scenario. The maximum concentration in the deodorants was used without considering the application type. In the tiered 2 assessment (detail assessment), the 75th exposure factor values were used to estimate the assumed reasonable exposure to ingredients. In these assessments, the maximum concentration used in the exposure models was determined by the product purpose and application type. The values input into the exposure algorithms were developed via the exposure route. Of the selected fragrance and biocidal active ingredients, 18 fragrance and 13 biocidal ingredients were detected in the deodorants that were assessed. From the results of the tiered 1 assessment, it was necessary for tiered 2 risk assessments to be conducted for 6 ingredients for the inhalation route, and 13 ingredients for the dermal route. The inhalation margin of exposure of ingredients in deodorants of gel/trigger/spray types for home/car and fabric/air usage was above the target margin of exposure. The health risk of 6 evaluated ingredients was relatively low for the inhalation route of exposure.</P> <P>This study showed that the assessed ingredients have no health risks at their maximum concentrations in deodorants. The approach discussed in this study should be used to establish improved guidelines for specific ingredients in consumer products, and for setting limits for newly developed raw materials that may pose dermal and inhalation hazard.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Thirteen hazardous ingredients in 482 deodorants were analyzed. </LI> <LI> We assessed irritative and respiratory health effects of sixty four deodorant products. </LI> <LI> Effects on health were assessed for dermal and inhalation exposure in two steps, tiered 1and 2. </LI> <LI> No health risks were noted for maximum concentrations of the deodorant ingredients. </LI> <LI> Health risk assessment approach helps establish guidelines for consumer product ingredients. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

Objectives Tricalcium phosphate and calcium hydrogenorthophosphate are high production volume chemicals, mainly used as foodstuff additives, pharmaceuticals, lubricants, synthetic resin, and disinfectants. Phosphate has the potential to cause increased algal growth leading to eutrophication in the aquatic environment. However, there is no adequate information available on risk assessment or acute and chronic toxicity. The aim of this research is to evaluate the toxic potential of phosphate compounds in the aquatic environment. Methods An aquatic toxicity test of phosphate was conducted, and its physico-chemical properties were obtained from a database recommended in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) guidance manual. An ecotoxicity test using fish, Daphnia, and algae was conducted by the good laboratory practice facility according to the OECD TG guidelines for testing of chemicals, to secure reliable data. Results The results of the ecotoxicity tests of tricalcium phosphate and calcium hydrogenorthophosphate are as follows: In an acute toxicity test with Oryzias latipes, 96 hr 50% lethal concentration ($LC_{50}$) was >100 (measured:>2.14) mg/L and >100 (measured: >13.5) mg/L, respectively. In the Daphnia test, 48 hr 50% effective concentration ($EC_{50}$) was >100 (measured: >5.35) mg/L and >100 (measured: >2.9) mg/L, respectively. In a growth inhibition test with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, 72 hr $EC_{50}$ was >100 (measured: >1.56) mg/L and >100 (measured: >4.4) mg/L, respectively. Conclusions Based on the results of the ecotoxicity test of phosphate using fish, Daphnia, and algae, $L(E)C_{50}$ was above 100 mg/L (nominal), indicating no toxicity. In general, the total phosphorus concentration including phosphate in rivers and lakes reaches levels of several ppm, suggesting that phosphate has no toxic effects. However, excessive inflow of phosphate into aquatic ecosystems has the potential to cause eutrophication due to algal growth.

Idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension (IPAH) is an incurable and invariably fatal disease. Lung transplantation is a useful therapeutic option in patients who are unresponsive to medical treatment; however, lung transplantation performed for pulmonary hypertension is associated with significantly high perioperative mortality rates. We report a case series of six patients who underwent lung transplantation for IPAH between October 2008 and June 2021. Patients’ median age was 28.5 years, and the study included 5 of 6 women (83%). Pre-transplantation hemodynamic parameters showed mean right atrial pressure of 12.0±7.1 mmHg and mean pulmonary artery pressure of 62.2±29.5 mmHg. Two of six patients received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy as a bridge to transplantation over 14 and 17 days, and four patients underwent elective transplantation. Two patients required prolonged postoperative venoarterial (V-A) ECMO support. Grade 3 primary graft dysfunction occurred in one patient; however, the clinical course improved following prolonged V-A ECMO therapy. Five patients (83.3%) required intervention for postoperative bleeding control; one of these patients died of uncontrolled bleeding concomitant with disseminated intravascular coagulation, on the 14th postoperative day, and we observed no other perioperative deaths. One patient died of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii bacteremia, a year postoperatively. The 1-month, 6-month, and 1-year survival rates were 83.3%, 83.3%, and 66.7%, respectively. In view of the poor prognosis of IPAH, lung transplantation (1-year mortality rates <40%) merits consideration as a useful therapeutic option in this patient population. However, postoperative bleeding tends to occur in most patients; therefore, close monitoring is important during post-transplantation management.
