Carbon disulfide exposure induced lung function reduction partly through oxidative protein damage: A cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 454:131464. [PMID: 37104953 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
Carbon disulfide (CS2) exposure has been associated with lung function reduction in occupational population. However, evidence on the general population with relatively low CS2 exposure is lacking and the mechanism involved remains largely unknown. Urinary CS2 metabolite (2-mercaptothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, TTCA) and lung function were determined in the urban adults from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort at baseline in 2011-2012 and were repeated every 3 years. Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between TTCA and lung function were estimated using linear mixed models. Inflammation and oxidative damage biomarkers in blood/urine were measured to evaluate their potential mediating roles involved. Cross-sectionally, participants in the highest quartile of TTCA level showed a 0.64% reduction in FEV1/FVC and a -308.22 mL/s reduction in PEF, compared to those in the lowest quartile. Longitudinally, participants with consistently high TTCA level had annually -90.27 mL/s decline in PEF, compared to those with consistently low TTCA level. Mediation analysis revealed that plasma protein carbonyl mediated 49.89% and 22.10% of TTCA-associated FEV1/FVC and PEF reductions, respectively. Conclusively, there was a cross-sectional and longitudinal association between CS2 exposure and lung function reduction in the general urban adults, and protein carbonylation (oxidative protein damage) partly mediated lung function reduction from CS2 exposure.

Effects of co-exposure to CS 2 and noise on hearing and balance in rats: continuous versus intermittent CS 2 exposures. J Occup Med Toxicol 2020; 15:9.

Abstract
Background Carbon disulfide (CS2) exacerbates the effect of noise on hearing, and disrupts the vestibular system. The goal of this study was to determine whether these effects are also observed with intermittent CS2 exposure. Methods Rats were exposed for 4 weeks (5 days/week, 6 h/day) to a band noise at 106 dB SPL either alone or combined with continuous (63 ppm or 250 ppm) or intermittent (15 min/h or 2 × 15 min/h at 250 ppm) CS2. Hearing function was assessed by measuring distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs); balance was monitored based on the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). Functional measurements were performed before, at the end of exposure and 4 weeks later. Histological analyses of the inner ear were also performed following exposure and after the 4-week recovery period. Results The results obtained here confirmed that CS2 exposure exerts two differential temporary effects on hearing: (1) it attenuates the noise-induced DPOAE decrease below 6 kHz probably through action on the middle ear reflex when exposure lasts 15 min per hour, and (2) continuous exposure to 250 ppm for 6 h extends the frequency range affected by noise up to 9.6 kHz (instead of 6 kHz with noise alone). With regard to balance, the VOR was reversibly disrupted at the two highest doses of CS2 (2 × 15 min/h and continuous 250 ppm). No morphological alterations to the inner ear were observed. Conclusion These results reveal that short periods of CS2 exposure can alter the sensitivity of the cochlea to noise at a dose equivalent to only 10 times the short-term occupational limit value, and intermittent exposure to CS2 (2 × 15 min/h) can alter the function of the vestibular system.

Continuous exposure to low-frequency noise and carbon disulfide: Combined effects on hearing. Neurotoxicology 2017; 62:151-161. [PMID: 28655499 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuro.2017.06.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2017] [Revised: 06/22/2017] [Accepted: 06/22/2017] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
Carbon disulfide (CS2) is used in industry; it has been shown to have neurotoxic effects, causing central and distal axonopathies.However, it is not considered cochleotoxic as it does not affect hair cells in the organ of Corti, and the only auditory effects reported in the literature were confined to the low-frequency region. No reports on the effects of combined exposure to low-frequency noise and CS2 have been published to date. This article focuses on the effects on rat hearing of combined exposure to noise with increasing concentrations of CS2 (0, 63,250, and 500ppm, 6h per day, 5 days per week, for 4 weeks). The noise used was a low-frequency noise ranging from 0.5 to 2kHz at an intensity of 106dB SPL. Auditory function was tested using distortion product oto-acoustic emissions, which mainly reflects the cochlear performances. Exposure to noise alone caused an auditory deficit in a frequency area ranging from 3.6 to 6 kHz. The damaged area was approximately one octave (6kHz) above the highest frequency of the exposure noise (2.8kHz); it was a little wider than expected based on the noise spectrum.Consequently, since maximum hearing sensitivity is located around 8kHz in rats, low-frequency noise exposure can affect the cochlear regions detecting mid-range frequencies. Co-exposure to CS2 (250-ppm and over) and noise increased the extent of the damaged frequency window since a significant auditory deficit was measured at 9.6kHz in these conditions.Moreover, the significance at 9.6kHz increased with the solvent concentrations. Histological data showed that neither hair cells nor ganglion cells were damaged by CS2. This discrepancy between functional and histological data is discussed. Like most aromatic solvents, carbon disulfide should be considered as a key parameter in hearing conservation régulations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Occupational exposure to carbon disulfide (CS2) leads to inhalative and dermal uptake and thereby to internal exposure. In order to prevent occupational contact dermatitis, gloves and skin protection creams are used at the workplace. The aim of the study was the evaluation of the influence of personal skin protection and irritation on the internal exposure to CS2 of employees in the viscose industry. METHODS One hundred and eighty-two male CS2-exposed employees were included in the study and were examined regarding working conditions, use of personal protective measures und skin status. Personal air monitoring and biological monitoring was performed and the 'relative internal exposure' (RIE, internal exposure in relation to external exposure) calculated. A multiple regression analysis calculated the influence of skin protection and irritation on CS2 uptake. RESULTS Usage of skin protection creams and gloves (and both in combination) while working was associated with a significantly higher RIE indicating a higher dermal penetration of CS2. Equally, irritated skin and younger age was associated with a higher internal burden. CONCLUSIONS Gloves and skin protection creams are useful for preventing occupational skin diseases. However, when handling skin-resorptive substances like CS2, they can increase internal exposure or skin irritation. Therefore, we recommend the careful consideration of benefits and risks of protective creams and gloves at the workplace.
