Ocenjuje se, da je etilenoksidu v EU izpostavljenih 46.900 zaposlenih. Izpostavljenost etilenovemu oksidu poteka predvsem z vdihavanjem in zau\u017eitjem. Snov je rakotvorna snovi kategorije 1B in lahko povzro\u010di levkemijo, limfoidnega raka in raka dojk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Izpostavljenost je povezana tudi s spontanim splavom, genetskimi po\u0161kodbami, po\u0161kodbami \u017eivcev, periferno paralizo, mi\u0161i\u010dno \u0161ibkostjo ter motnjami mi\u0161ljenja in spomina. Teko\u010da oblika etilenoksida lahko pri dolgotrajni ali omejeni izpostavljenosti povzro\u010di hudo dra\u017eenje ko\u017ee.<\/p>\n

Kje se pojavljajo tveganja<\/h2>\n

Veliko tveganje izpostavljenosti etilenoksidu obstaja pri zaposlenih v zdravstvu, tiskarstvu, proizvodnji industrijskih kemikalij ter proizvodnji gume in plastike.<\/p>\n

Ve\u010d o snovi<\/h2>\n

Etilenoksid je pri temperaturah nad 10,7 \u00b0C vnetljiv, brezbarven plin, ki pri toksi\u010dnih vrednostih di\u0161i po etru. Njegova gostota je ve\u010dja od gostote zraka, kar pomeni, da se zlahka raz\u0161iri na tleh. Etilenoksid najdemo v proizvodnji topil, sredstev proti zmrzovanju, tekstila, detergentov, lepil, poliuretanske pene in farmacevtskih izdelkov. Etilenoksid se najve\u010d uporablja kot vmesni kemi\u010dni proizvod pri proizvodnji etilen glikola. Snov je v manj\u0161ih koli\u010dinah prisotna v fumigantih, sterilizacijskih sredstvih za za\u010dimbe, kozmetiki in kirur\u0161ki opremi.<\/p>\n

Zavezujo\u010da mejna vrednost poklicne izpostavljenosti v EU zna\u0161a 1,8 mg\/m\u00b3 (\u010dasovno tehtano povpre\u010dje).<\/p>\n

Nevarnosti, ki se lahko pojavijo<\/h2>\n

Akutni u\u010dinki in zgodnji simptomi izpostavljenosti etilenoksidu lahko povzro\u010dijo bole\u010dine v o\u010deh, bole\u010dine v grlu, te\u017eko dihanje, zamegljen vid, omotico, slabost, bruhanje, glavobol, kr\u010de, mehurje, ka\u0161elj, pove\u010dano \u0161tevilo spontanih splavov pri zaposlenih \u017eenskah, degeneracijo testisov in ni\u017ejo koncentracijo sperme. Vodne raztopine lahko povzro\u010dijo nastanek mehurjev na ko\u017ei. Hitro izhlapevanje teko\u010de oblike snovi lahko povzro\u010di ozebline. Dolgotrajen ali ponavljajo\u010d se stik z etilenoksidom lahko povzro\u010di preob\u010dutljivost ko\u017ee. Dolgotrajno ali ponavljajo\u010de se vdihavanje lahko povzro\u010di astmo. Snov lahko vpliva tudi na \u017eiv\u010dni sistem. Dolgotrajna izpostavljenost lahko povzro\u010di levkemijo, limfoidnega raka ali raka dojk.<\/p>\n

Latentna doba raka, povezanega z etilenoksidom, je od 9 do 20 let.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kaj lahko storite<\/h2>\n

Naju\u010dinkovitej\u0161i na\u010din prepre\u010devanja izpostavljenosti je zamenjava z izdelki brez etilenoksida ali z ni\u017ejo vsebnostjo etilenoksida. \u010ce izdelkov, ki vsebujejo etilenoksid, ni mogo\u010de zamenjati, je treba izpostavljenost etilenoksidu zmanj\u0161ati z in\u017eenirskimi ukrepi. Na primer, namestite neiskrive prezra\u010devalne sisteme in zagotovite o\u010desno prho ter varnostno prho, \u010de obstaja nevarnost stika ali razpr\u0161itve. Nenehno izvajajte pravilne meritve izpostavljenosti, da veste, kdaj je treba ukrepati. Preverite, ali zaposleni poro\u010dajo o zgodnjih simptomih. Zaposlene nenehno ozave\u0161\u010dajte o u\u010dinkih izpostavljenosti. Poleg tega usposobite zaposlene o nevarnostih, varnih delovnih praksah in u\u010dinkovitih higienskih ukrepih.<\/p>\n

Za za\u0161\u010dito na ravni posameznika morajo zaposleni vedno nositi za\u0161\u010ditna o\u010dala in ustrezno za\u0161\u010ditno obleko za za\u0161\u010dito ko\u017ee na obmo\u010djih, kjer obstaja nevarnost razpr\u0161itve teko\u010dega etilenoksida. Vso obleko, ki jo je etilenoksid po\u0161kodoval, je treba zavre\u010di. Osebna varovalna oprema naj se uporablja le kot zadnja mo\u017enost, po uvedbi mo\u017enih in\u017eenirskih re\u0161itev. Zaposleni med delom z etilenoksidom ne smejo jesti, piti ali kaditi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","carcinogens":[6410],"class_list":["post-77323","fact","type-fact","status-publish","hentry","carcinogens-etilen-oksid-sl"],"yoast_head":"\nEtilenoksid - STOP carcinogens at work<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ocenjuje se, da je etilenoksidu v EU izpostavljenih 46.900 zaposlenih.
