ALKYLPHENOLS
General Information
Nonyphenols (NPs) are a family of compounds made of a phenol ring linked to a straight or
branched nonyl goup (chain of nine carbon atoms). Their general formula is
C6H4(OH)C9H19.
NPs are subjected to ethoxylation (addition of ethoxy groups –CH2-CH2-0- on the alcohol
group) to give Nonyphenol ethoxylates (NPEOs), whose general formula is
(C2H4O)nC15H24O. NPEOs belong to the larger group of compounds known as APEOs:
alkylphenol ethoxylates.
Other dangerous APEOs are the octylphenols ethoxylates (OPEOs) which have same
characteristics as the NPEOs. NPEOs are a group of man-made chemicals (not naturally
present in the environment). They are most widely used as industrial detergents, wetting
agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants.
N.B:
Currently, in Europe for most of their former uses NPEOs have now been
replaced by fatty alcohol ethoxylates, which are safer.
Toxicology
NPEOs are easily degradable in the environment, its breakdown product being NPs. NPs
are reprotoxic to humans (category 2). NPs are known as persistent, moderately
bioaccumulative, and extremely toxic to aquatic organisms. Besides, NPs are able to act
as endocrine disruptors due to their ability to mimic oestrogens (primary female sex
hormone).

General Information
They are substances derived from phenol in which several molecule hydrogen atoms have
been replaced by chlorine atoms. Among them are:
Pentachlorophenol (PCP)
Isomers of Tetrachlorophenol (TCPs)
These are chemical substances which are used as pesticides, in industrial and domestic
applications. It can be used as a preservative in textiles and leather goods.

PESTICIDES
General Information
By definition, pesticides are
chemical preparations used for destroying plant, fungal, or
animal pests. They could be found in natural fibers.
Toxicology
They are toxic for the environment, but, among the effects of pesticides, it is worth noting
that they promote various carcinogenic pathologies, alteration agents of the hormone
system and generate the risk of infertility, in addition to active agents in the development of
human developmental disorder during pregnancy. Furthermore, there is medical evidence
that these pesticides contribute to the development of chronic illnesses such as diabetes
and also increase the risk of suffering other neuro-degenerative illnesses like Alzheimer’s
and Parkinson’s disease. They may also have a negative impact on neurological
development and child behavior.

FLAME RETARDANTS
SHORT CHAIN CHLORINATED PARAFFINS (SCCP)
General Information
The (SCCP) short-chain chlorinated paraffins are a group of synthetic compounds mainly
used to treat metals and greased leather and in paints and coatings. They can be found in
PVC part as secondary softeners or flame retardants in rubber and plastic parts.
Toxicology
Chlorinated paraffins are known to be very persistent and may cause harmful effects to
the environment in the long term. Acute toxicity of SCCPs (C10-13) is very low. This is not a
skin sensitizer. The liver, kidney and thyroid are major target organs in repeated-dose
studies with rats and mice. When administered by gavage, chlorinated paraffins (C12, 60
percent chlorine) are carcinogenic to animals.
Prenatal developmental toxicity studies in rats and rabbits showed reduced fetal body
weight. A reproductive toxicity study also showed postnatal developmental toxicity as
demonstrated by reduced pup body weight, as well as reduced pup survival at higher
doses; there was no evidence of reproductive toxicity. Repeated-dose studies in rats and
dogs showed effects on the liver.

and painted metals. It was also used in Ni/Cd batteries. Cadmium derivative compounds
are mainly used as yellow, orange and red pigments in paint, inks,...
Toxicology
Cadmium is well absorbed by inhalation. Absorption by ingestion can be significant with
hand-mouth contact. There is no absorption through the skin. Inhalation of cadmium can
lead to cadmium fever. One of the main targets of cadmium are bones, leading to
osteomalacy. Long term exposure can lead to loss of kidney function. Obviously Cadmium
is a strong carcinogenic substance.

LEAD (Pb), CAS 7439-92-1
General information
Lead may be used in pigments, stabilisers of plastics (e.g lead stearate) and neoprenes.
For example lead stabilizes PVC and protects it during mixing and transformation and also
during product use. It protects PVC against heat and light.
Lead can be found in recycled metal as contamination. Zinc and copper based alloys are
naturally contaminated by lead because of natural geological link consequently it can be
found in electronic devices. Lead naturally takes part in brass alloys and in fishing sinkers,
and lead shots. Lead arseniate was used as pesticide.
Toxicology
Lead is absorbed mainly via inhalation (70%) or ingestion (8%) and slightly via skin, but
absorption of lead by ingestion is widely increased for children. It is a poison (lead
poisoning) targeting the central nervous system and hematopoietic system. it is also toxic
for reproduction by increasing the risk of infertility, abortion, perinatal diseases and death.
Several studies show the carcinogenic potential of lead, especially on kidneys increasing
with the dose. it is known to be bioaccumulative as well.

ORGANO TIN COMPOUNDS
General information
Organic tin compounds are defined according to the number of carbon bonded to the tin.
They have a various applications in industry. They are used as catalysts in the production
of polyurethane foam and silicons. They can be also used as anti-foam agents, fungicides
and in PVC as stabilisers and plasticisers. They were used as biocides in agriculture and in
antifouling paint.
Toxicology
Organic tin are especially known for their chronic effects with their serious toxicity for brain
and liver. Immunitary system can be impaired by organic tin (symptoms can be seen after
long term exposure). Organic tin can lead to brain oedema in case of acute exposure. Di
and trialkylated compounds are very irritant for skin and eyes. They are not sensitizers.

POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS
General information
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are natural components of crude oil and they
are a common residue from oil refining. PAHs have a characteristic smell similar to the
smell of car tires or asphalt.
Oil residues containing PAHs are added in rubber and plastics as a softener or extender.
Therefore, PAHs are risky in rubber, plastics, lacquers and coatings. PAHs are often found
in the outsoles of footwear, in bike tyres and in printing pastes of screen prints. PAHs can
be present as impurities in Carbon Black.
Toxicology
PAH are carcinogenic. Cancer location is linked to the way of exposure. they can lead to
skin cancer, lung cancer, bladder cancer, ENT cancer, kidney and digestive system
cancer.

PERFLUOROCARBONS (PFCs)
General information
Can be found in (DWR) durable water repellents treated material, due to topical finishes
applied to fabrics to provide protection against water, oil and soil. These treatments, if
using long-chain fluorinated polymers, often contain trace levels of long chain
perfluoroalkyl acids (LCPFAAs) as impurities.
Additionally, residual raw materials from production of DWR as well as products
incorporating DWR technology may degrade in the environment to form LCPFAAs.
Toxicology
Some compounds are very toxic to aquatic organisms and may cause long-term adverse
effects in the aquatic environment. Above certain exposure levels, some LCPFAAs may
impair human fertility or cause harm to unborn children, can be persistent in the
environment and may accumulate in humans and other mammals and may result in the
development of cancer above certain exposure levels.
