OEL Fastrac Catalog

Cresol, identified under CAS RN 1319-77-3, is a mixture of the isomers o-cresol (CAS RN 95-48-7), m-cresol (CAS RN 108-39-4), and p-cresol (CAS RN 106-44-5). Cresols are isomeric phenols with a methyl substituent at the ortho (o-cresol), meta (mcresol), or para (p-cresol) position relative to the hydroxyl group. Metacresol, or m-cresol, is a cresol with the methyl substituent at position 3. Cresols have a wide variety of uses as solvents or disinfectants or as intermediates in the production of numerous other substances. These compounds are most commonly used in the production of fragrances, antioxidants, dyes, pesticides and resins. Metacresol, either pure or mixed with p-cresol, is important in the production of contact herbicides and insecticides. Furthermore, many flavor and fragrance compounds and several important antioxidants are produced from metacresol. Metacresol is also used in the manufacture of explosives.

Affygility Solutions has an occupational exposure limit (OEL) and control band assignment for this active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). This monograph also contains the acceptable daily exposure (ADE) value.

Why do you need this OEL Fastrac monograph?

OEL Fastrac monographs are a cost-effective and convenient way to meet the requirements for PDEs (ADEs) contained in the EMA Guideline on setting health based exposure limits for use in risk identification in the manufacture of different medicinal products in shared facilities (EMA/CHMP/CVMP/SWP/169430/2012), as well as PIC/S and ANVISA requirements, and to obtain the following information:

• The numerical OEL and control band assignment needed to determine the level of required engineering controls and personal protective equipment
• A listing of all cited references utilized in the derivation of the OEL and ADE
• An expert review and discussion with respect to the critical endpoints of concern, the rationale for the choice of endpoints, and dose that is to be used in the derivation of the ADE (PDE), as required by the EMA's Guideline on setting health-based exposure limits for use in risk identification in the manufacture of different medicinal products in shared facilities
