CHEMICAL PROFILES AND DEFINITIONS:
Sources: EDF (Environmental Defense Fund) & MME
(Mosby's Medical
Encyclopdia)
Ammonium Sulfate:
EDF Suspected - gastrointestinal or liver toxicant,
neurotoxicant,
respiratory toxicant
Amphotericin B:
MME definintion - a drug used to treat fungus
infections. Known
allergyto this drug prohibits use. Side effects include
blood clots,
blood
defects, kidney problems, nausea and fever. When used
on the skin,
allergic reactions can occur.
Aluminum:
EDF Suspected - cardiovascular or blood toxicant,
neurotoxicant,
respiratory toxicant. More hazardous than most
chemicals in 2 out of 6
ranking systems on at least 2 federal regulatory lists
Beta-Propiolactone:
EDF Recognized - carcinogen
EDF Suspected - gastrointestinal or liver toxicant,
respiratory
toxicant, skin or sense organ toxicant. More hazardous
than most
chemicals in 3 out of 3 ranking systems on at least 5
federal
regulatory
lists Ranked as one of the most hazardous compounds
(worst 10%) to
humans
Formaldehyde:
EDF Recognized - carcinogen
Suspected - gastrointestinal or liver toxicant,
immunotoxicant,
neurotoxicant, reproductive toxicant, respiratory
toxicant
skin or sense organ toxicant
More hazardous than most chemicals in 5 out of 12
ranking systems on
at
least 8 federal regulatory lists Ranked as one of the
most hazardous
compounds (worst 10%) to ecosystems and human health
Gentamicin Sulfate: an antibiotic
Hydrolyzed Gelatin: obtained from selected pieces of
calf and cattle
skins, de-mineralized cattle bones (ossein) and
porkskin
Monosodium Glutamate: Normally used as a flavor
enhancer in a variety
of foods, however, due to concerns expressed by the
American Academy
of
Pediatrics, MSG was removed from all products intended
for use in
infants under the age of one. Injections of glutamate
into laboratory
animals have resulted in damage to nerve cells in the
brain.
Neomycin: an antibiotic
Phenol : aka Carbolic Acid
EDF Suspected - cardiovascular or blood toxicant,
developmental
toxicant, gastrointestinal or liver toxicant, kidney
toxicant,
neurotoxicant, respiratory toxicant, skin or sense
organ toxicant
Morehazardous than most chemicals in 3 out of 10
ranking systems on
at least
8 federal regulatory lists
Phenoxyethanol: aka Antifreeze
EDF Suspected - developmental toxicant, reproductive
toxicant Less
hazardous than most chemicals in 3 ranking systems
Polyribosylribitol: a component of the Hib bacterium
Polymyxin: an antibiotic
Polysorbate:
EDF Suspected - skin or sense organ toxicant
Sorbitol: EDF Suspected - gastrointestinal or liver
toxicant Less
hazardous than most chemicals in 1 ranking system
Streptomycin: an antibiotic
Sucrose: refined sugar
Thimerosal: (Mercury!)
EDF Recognized - development toxicant
Suspected - skin or sense organ toxicant
Tri(n)butylphosphate:
EDF Suspected - kidney toxicant, neurotoxicant More
hazardous than
most
chemicals in 2 out of 3 ranking systems on at least 1
federal
regulatory
list
