Toxicological Profile for Dinitrocresols.
Show detailsThe objective of the toxicological profile is to evaluate the potential for human exposure and the potential health hazards associated with inhalation, oral, or dermal/ocular exposure to dinitrocresols.
B.1. LITERATURE SEARCH AND SCREEN
A literature search and screen was conducted to identify studies examining health effects, toxicokinetics, mechanisms of action, susceptible populations, biomarkers, and chemical interactions data for dinitrocresols. ATSDR primarily focused on peer-reviewed articles without publication date or language restrictions. Non-peer-reviewed studies that were considered relevant to the assessment of the health effects of dinitrocresols have undergone peer review by at least three ATSDR-selected experts who have been screened for conflict of interest. The inclusion criteria used to identify relevant studies examining the health effects of dinitrocresols are presented in Table B-1.
Table B-1Inclusion Criteria for the Literature Search and Screen
Health Effects Species Human Laboratory mammals Route of exposure Inhalation Oral Dermal (or ocular) Parenteral (these studies will be considered supporting data) Health outcome Death Systemic effects Body weight effects Respiratory effects Cardiovascular effects Gastrointestinal effects Hematological effects Musculoskeletal effects Hepatic effects Renal effects Dermal effects Ocular effects Endocrine effects Immunological effects Neurological effects Reproductive effects Developmental effects Other noncancer effects Cancer |

B.1.1. Literature Search
The current literature search was intended to update the health effects sections of the existing toxicological profile for dinitrocresols (ATSDR 1995), thus, the literature search was restricted to studies published between January 1993 to March 2017. The following main databases were searched in March 2017:
- PubMed
- National Library of Medicine’s TOXLINE
- Scientific and Technical Information Network’s TOXCENTER
The search strategy used the chemical names, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) numbers, synonyms, Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) headings, and keywords for dinitrocresols. The query strings used for the literature search are presented in Table B-2.
The search was augmented by searching the Toxic Substances Control Act Test Submissions (TSCATS), NTP website, and National Institute of Health Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools Expenditures and Results (NIH RePORTER) databases using the queries presented in Table B-3. Additional databases were searched in the creation of various tables and figures, such as the TRI Explorer, the Substance Priority List (SPL) resource page, and other items as needed. Regulations applicable to dinitrocresols were identified by searching international and U.S. agency websites and documents.
Review articles were identified and used for the purpose of providing background information and identifying additional references. ATSDR also identified reports from the grey literature, which included unpublished research reports, technical reports from government agencies, conference proceedings and abstracts, and theses and dissertations.

Several versions of the TSCATS database were searched, as needed, by CASRN including TSCATS1 via Toxline (no date limit), TSCATS2 via https://yosemite
.epa .gov/oppts/epatscat8 .nsf/ReportSearch?OpenForm (date restricted by EPA receipt date), and TSCATS via CDAT (date restricted by ‘Mail Received Date Range’), as well as google for recent TSCA submissions.
The 2017 results were:
- Number of records identified from PubMed, TOXLINE, and TOXCENTER (after duplicate removal): 1,003
- Number of records identified from other strategies: 35
- Total number of records to undergo literature screening: 1,038
B.1.2. Literature Screening
A two-step process was used to screen the literature search to identify relevant studies on dinitrocresols:
- Title and abstract screen
- Full text screen
Title and Abstract Screen. Within the reference library, titles and abstracts were screened manually for relevance. Studies that were considered relevant (see Table B-1 for inclusion criteria) were moved to the second step of the literature screening process. Studies were excluded when the title and abstract clearly indicated that the study was not relevant to the toxicological profile.
- Number of titles and abstracts screened: 1,038
- Number of studies considered relevant and moved to the next step: 47
Full Text Screen. The second step in the literature screening process was a full text review of individual studies considered relevant in the title and abstract screen step. Each study was reviewed to determine whether it was relevant for inclusion in the toxicological profile.
- Number of studies undergoing full text review: 47
- Number of studies cited in the health effects sections of the existing toxicological profile (August, 1995): 78
- Total number of studies cited in the health effects sections of the updated profile: 90
A summary of the results of the literature search and screening is presented in Figure B-1.
