title: Excretion kinetics of the rubber anti-oxidant N-isopropyl-N'-phenyl-p-phenylendiamine (IPPD).
abstract: Sixteen rubber vulcanizers using IPPD as anti-oxidant were monitored for the presence of the parent compound in the urine during two consecutive working weeks using HPLC for analysis. At least two components in the excretion kinetics could be demonstrated: a fast one, as end-shift urinary concentrations significantly exceeded before-shift ones, and a less rapid one, as before-shift values at the end of the week significantly differed from those determined at the beginning. A skin absorption experiment was also performed. It demonstrated three components in the excretion kinetics, with apparent half-times of approximately 3, 7 and 24 h. Excretion ceased 7 d after skin exposure.
